A knee injury of the worst kind for Konrad De la Fuente
109 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Gijón lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

César Gelabert in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gijón this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Eric Curbelo 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 Gijón, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Gijón put César Gelabert up for sale
The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. César Gelabert may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

The goals keep arriving from Amadou Coundoul’s exile
4 goals in 11 games at Académica — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Gijón updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.
