Squad12 Nov 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Brian Gonzalez

20 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Deportes Quindio lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad12 Nov 2035

37 days out for Manuel Valencia after a fracture

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

Tempers go at Deportes Quindio

Juan Sebastián Covilla 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.

The dugout12 Nov 2035

Juan José Montoya gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market12 Nov 2035

Still no ink between Deportes Quindio and Juan Esteban Restrepo

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Deportes Quindio, another week without a signature from Juan Esteban Restrepo.

The dugout12 Nov 2035

Juan Sebastián Covilla knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Juan Sebastián Covilla trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Juan Sebastián Covilla runs his contract down

1 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Deportes Quindio money.

Market12 Nov 2035

The William Ovalle talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Deportes Quindio know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout12 Nov 2035

Shuaibu Olofu has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Shuaibu Olofu has written the date down.

Squad5 Nov 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Brian Gonzalez

28 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Deportes Quindio lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad5 Nov 2035

A fracture rules Manuel Valencia out for 45 days

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

Squad5 Nov 2035

Words exchanged at Deportes Quindio

Luca Scarlato 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.

The dugout5 Nov 2035

The manager makes an example of Martín Busto

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad5 Nov 2035

Home is on Shuaibu Olofu's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Deportes Quindio are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Market5 Nov 2035

Deportes Quindio and Martín Busto are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout5 Nov 2035

Juan Sebastián Covilla knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Deportes Quindio, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market5 Nov 2035

The Edwin Echeverría question follows Deportes Quindio around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Edwin Echeverría’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market5 Nov 2035

Carlos Banguero runs his contract down

6 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Deportes Quindio money.
