Squad

Ricardo Blanco damages knee ligaments — 104 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 104 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

Iván Zafarana 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 All Boys this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

All Boys may not be able to give Ignacio Palacio what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Ignacio Palacio wants continental football; whether All Boys can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Words at All Boys training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hernán Grana is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Loan watch

Agustín Fernández counts the days

“I watch every All Boys game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Aktobe runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Matías Nouet

“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

Iván Zafarana 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.

Market

Juan Pablo Noce linked with a move away

The name of Juan Pablo Noce keeps appearing in other people's back pages. All Boys say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

The manager makes Juan Pablo Noce a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at All Boys. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

In brief
