Squad21 Sep 2026

Miguel Rubio breaks a bone — 92 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 92 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Iván Alejo 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 Valladolid this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Valladolid

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Raúl Asencio was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Ramón

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Luis Chacón 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 ratings21 Sep 2026

Ramón takes the honours

Marked 7.57 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Valladolid had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Dani Martín dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Market21 Sep 2026

Valladolid put Marcos André up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Marcos André may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Raúl Garrido on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Raúl Garrido after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Squad24 Aug 2026

125 days out for Miguel Rubio after a fracture

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

Market24 Aug 2026

Marcos André puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Valladolid, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market24 Aug 2026

Guille Bueno turns Athletic Bilbao down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Zaragoza tell Valladolid: Marcos Cuenca 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.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Rémy Descamps due for a Valladolid medical

Everything agreed with Olympique Lyonnais, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

No thanks: Arnaud Bodart rejects the move

Valladolid had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at LOSC Lille, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Iván Alejo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 23. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Luis Chacón stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Luis Chacón and Valladolid agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Valladolid

Ramón 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.

In brief
