A fracture rules Miguel Tavares out for 132 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Vizela will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Antonio Gomis and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The crowd has taken to Antonio Gomis
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.

Manuel Baldé dropped after a run of poor form
