The Boca Juniors Courier
Squad14 Feb 2028
Enner Valencia breaks a bone — 41 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 41 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Match12 Feb 2028
Boca Juniors run riot against Gimnasia y Esgrima
3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Endrick, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.30
A mark of 8.30 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Adam Bareiro says Boca Juniors went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.
Market14 Feb 2028
Sagan Tosu come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Boca Juniors did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Nobody wants to play Boca Juniors right now
3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Boca Juniors to lose Fernando Evangelista for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Fernando Evangelista has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Endrick 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 Boca Juniors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Federico Carrizo is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Boca Juniors is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
