The knee: Alyson out for 102 days
102 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Amazonas lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

In brief
- The dugout No hiding place for Fernandinho
- Market André Rocha steps up from the Amazonas academy
- Match André Viana at the heart of a fast Amazonas start
