Post script. Despite rumours to the contrary, will stay for another season at Deportivo. Got a few games pre-season, and expected to feature more if he can stay fit.

17.06. Came on as a late substitute for Djalminha in the last game of the season.

10.06. Considering leaving the club after failing to win a place in the first team.

22.04. Picked up an injury and not included in squad.

15.04. Non playing substitute again for the game against Osasuna.

08.04. With Mauro Silva still injured, started the Champions League match at Leeds in the same position as against Villarreal. However was substituted by Valerón in the second half after Leeds scored their second goal. Victim of the rotations against Zaragoza, losing his place and staying on the subs' bench.

01.04. Started a league match for the first time this season, playing in the defensive midfield position alongside Emerson against Villarreal as Irureta rested his international stars before the Champions League match. Stayed on for the whole 90 minutes and did enough to convince his manager to give him another chance as his side won 4-2.

18.03. Non playing substitute.

11.03. Played the last 27 minutes in place of Mauro Silva in the victory over Numancia.

04.03. Non playing substitute.

25.02. Non playing substitute.

18.02. Non playing substitute.

11.02. Finally got a few minutes in the league game against Real Sociedad, coming on for Scaloni with ten minutes to go and the match already won.

11.02. Finally got a few minutes in the league game against Real Sociedad, coming on for Scaloni with ten minutes to go and the match already won.

04.02. Didn't even make the squad for the match against Racing Santander.

28.01. Non playing substitute again in the game against Bilbao.

21.01. On the bench against Málaga, but with Scaloni starring in his position he didn't make an appearance.

14.01. Expected to replace the injured Mauro Silva in the league against Valencia, but the Brazilian played with a foot protection and Duscher stayed on the bench. Atlético Madrid trying once again to get him on loan until the end of the season.

24.12. Still has not featured in any squad recently although apparently now fit. Could still go out on loan, although no recent news about this.

03.12. Could be included as part of package of players moving to Atlético Madrid this winter. Turu Flores will probably be sold to them, and Duscher would go on a six month loan.

19.10. Was operated on his right leg. Expected to be out of hospital by tomorrow.

15.10. Has been injured again and cannot get back into the team.

01.10. With Víctor and Scaloni taking turns on the right of midfield, Duscher has had to sit out both matches this week.

24.09. Having picked up an early injury, he is still waiting for an opportunity to get back in the side. With Víctor, and now Scaloni, playing well in his position on the right side of midfield, he has spent the last few matches on the substitutes bench.

Young right sided midfielder who starred in Sporting Lisbon's championship winning side last season. A record signing for Deportivo La Coruña when he joined in July, he has signed a seven year contract and is expected to be a player of the future. Still has to demonstrate he can make it in Spain however, and has featured little in the opening games so far, due in part to an injury. May take some time to settle in to a very competitive squad, but great things are expected of him.
