Squad

138 days out for Carlos Labrín after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Rangers de Talca will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout

Mateo Albornoz says Rangers de Talca 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.

Squad

Words at Rangers de Talca training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mauro González is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Words exchanged at Rangers de Talca

Diego Valencia and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Rangers de Talca count the cost of losing Erick Sanchez

17 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout

No hiding place for Hernán Taborda

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Hernán Taborda, and the manager let it.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

The knee: Elías Torancio out for 85 days

85 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Rangers de Talca lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

89 days out for Carlos Labrín after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Rangers de Talca will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

A falling-out at Rangers de Talca

Diego Valencia and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

As if he never left: Dylan Quijano returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Dylan Quijano is a Rangers de Talca player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Squad

Dylan Quijano gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Dylan Quijano has just signed for Rangers de Talca, and for once the answer mattered.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Rangers de Talca

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets

Godoy Cruz tell Rangers de Talca: Oscar Gonzalez is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

One of our own: Jorge Montecinos joins the Rangers de Talca first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jorge Montecinos is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Ivan Fernandez steps up from the Rangers de Talca academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ivan Fernandez 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.

In brief
