Squad

Alex Acosta damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

A falling-out at Resistencia

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

Squad

Resistencia count the cost of losing Teodoro Paredes

40 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

The knee: Alex Acosta out for 23 days

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

Squad

Oscar Franco out for 45 days

The medical room confirms 45 days on the sidelines for Oscar Franco, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Víctor Ayala 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 Resistencia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A move Richard Cabrera would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Richard Cabrera is living that version at Resistencia, and it tends to show in the first month.

The dugout

Edgar Villasboa has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Resistencia will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

Francisco Décima joins Resistencia to strengthen the squad

Nobody sells a season ticket on a signing like this. Every manager who has been through a bad October wants one anyway, and Resistencia have gone and got theirs early.
