Squad5 Oct 2026

The knee: Agustín Pérez out for 145 days

145 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Oviedo lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Age has not caught Santi Cazorla yet — 8.15

At 41 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.15 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Words at Oviedo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Carmo 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.

Match3 Oct 2026

Oviedo find a way past Athletic Bilbao

Athletic Bilbao made Oviedo work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Marcos Méndez out for 38 days

The medical room confirms 38 days on the sidelines for Marcos Méndez, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Lucas 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 Oviedo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nothing got past Alberto Reina

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 16 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Wages eat 89% of everything Oviedo earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Dani Calvo 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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Both jobs done by Jacobo — 7.01

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 15 actions, 7.01, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Squad14 Sep 2026

David Carmo 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.

Match12 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Oviedo against Osasuna

0‑1 to Osasuna, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Andrés Gallardo: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Carlos Domínguez

“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.

Looking ahead14 Sep 2026

A reunion for Santi Cazorla

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Villarreal in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The plan did not have a place for David Costas

Nobody at Oviedo is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Raúl Asencio walks taller at Oviedo

His past walked in ahead of him. Players who have been where he has been get a hearing in a dressing room before they have earned one, and he has it for as long as his form does.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Alberto Reina beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 10. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match22 Aug 2026

Nowhere to hide for Oviedo

0‑3 against Barcelona, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Manuel Moreno turns down Oviedo

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Veracruz keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Oviedo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Carmo 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.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Genoa tell Oviedo: Gustavo is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of David Carmo

“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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Oviedo

Raúl Asencio 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.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Doors closed at Oviedo

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Andrés Gallardo answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Oviedo ask about Manuel Moreno

A loan enquiry to Veracruz: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
