Squad

Daniel Rincon damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 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.

Squad

Cristian Arango breaks a bone — 57 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 57 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Gabriel Vega falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Tempers go at Caracas

Luciano Viano was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

A bad afternoon for Caracas against Aragua

0‑2 to Aragua, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Leandro Espejo

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Daniel Rincon damages knee ligaments — 27 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 27 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Cristian Arango out for 65 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Caracas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Maximiliano Soria says Caracas 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

16 seasons of Jeriel De Santis

467 appearances across 16 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Caracas know what they have.

Match

Honours even between Caracas and Zamora

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings

Fausto San Pedro runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
