Luis Morgillo damages knee ligaments — 99 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 99 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

A fracture rules Javier Maldonado out for 108 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Dynamo Puerto will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Marc López says Dynamo Puerto went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Santiago Villegas hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Dynamo Puerto can pretend not to have heard.

Tempers go at Dynamo Puerto

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Dynamo Puerto promote Daniel Ramirez from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Daniel Ramirez has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Junior Machis steps up from the Dynamo Puerto academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Junior Machis has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
