A fracture rules Edwin Quintero out for 14 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Deportivo Pasto will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Jhon Palacios: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Deportivo Pasto have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Mayer Gil has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Deportivo Pasto will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

284 appearances across 13 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Deportivo Pasto know what they have.
