A fracture rules Everton Ribeiro out for 98 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Bahia will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Everton Ribeiro frozen out at Bahia
This is not rotation. Everton Ribeiro has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Bahia is pretending otherwise.

A falling-out at Bahia
Jean Lucas and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings25 Sep 2028
The afternoon belonged to Emersonn

A satisfied Henrique Cavalcante
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Henrique Cavalcante could afford to be generous.
