Everything’s Fine at Deportivo La Coruna. Really.

A short two weeks after one of their keepers attacked the other one in the locker room, everything is apparently back to normal at La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna. Both Gustavo Munua (the assaulter) and Dudu Aouate (the assaultee) were suspended briefly following their ugly tussle, and Fabricio, Depor’s 20-year-old reserve team keeper, has been between the sticks for their last two matches — losses to Villarreal and Almeria — but now both Aouate and Munua seem to be back in the team having said they were sorry, which makes everything ok.

Apologies, however, don’t work very well when the law gets involved, and it’s only his lack of a previous record that’s kept Munua out of jail. He was charged with and convicted of “aggression” and sentenced to six months in prison, but the sentence was suspended because the Uruguayan has never been in trouble with the law before. So, instead of doing time he’s back in training with everyone else (rather than on his own, at a different time from the rest of the team, which has also been Aouate’s fate for the past several weeks) but, according to coach Miguel Angel Lotina, both Munua and Aouate will be on the bench for Sunday’s home match against Valladolid, backing up Fabricio, who Lotina says has earned his confidence.
