Marked for Enrique Cedillo

Uneasy
Match3 Oct 2026
11 matches without a win for Chiapas
The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Chiapas are no longer polite ones.

Heriberto Aguayo damages knee ligaments — 101 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 101 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.

A fracture rules Manuel Madrid out for 36 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Chiapas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Squad5 Oct 2026
Alfonso Blanco 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.

Words at Chiapas training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Christian is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Player ratings5 Oct 2026
Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Back issues

Crisis
Squad24 Aug 2026
A knee injury of the worst kind for Daniel Amador
57 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Chiapas lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match19 Aug 2026
The cup run ends for Chiapas
0‑2 against Veracruz, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Market24 Aug 2026
“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.
Match22 Aug 2026
No end in sight to Chiapas's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Chiapas has to find a result from somewhere.
Match22 Aug 2026
Chiapas cannot find the net
5 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Alfonso Blanco 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.
Match22 Aug 2026
Cruz Azul left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Enrique Cedillo 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.
