Squad

The knee: Franco Romero out for 70 days

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

Squad

82 days out for Alejandro Ávalos after a fracture

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

Squad

Nicolás Rodríguez stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Only the photograph left for Matías Blengio

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Matías Blengio will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Excursionistas the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Words exchanged at Excursionistas

Mariano Arango 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Miguel López

“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.

The dugout

Alan Pérez asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Fernando Romero chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

The dugout

The form table has caught Francesco Celeste

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Squad

The knee: Franco Romero out for 78 days

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

Squad

A fracture rules Alejandro Ávalos out for 89 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Excursionistas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Ignacio Maizarez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Excursionistas can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

Excursionistas told to sell

The instruction came from the boardroom and the dugout did not agree with it. Somebody will go, the fee will be called good business, and the manager will spend the season rebuilding around the space.

Squad

Cristian Erbes 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 Excursionistas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Tomás Lingua 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.

Match

Comunicaciones take the points off Excursionistas

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 134% of the Excursionistas income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Squad

A row about effort at Excursionistas

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