Squad

Franco Ferrari damages knee ligaments — 22 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 22 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 fracture rules Nicolás Oroz out for 80 days

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

Squad

Fernando Meza says Argentinos 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.

Squad

A move Axel Bordón 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. Axel Bordón is living that version at Argentinos Juniors, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

Business is business: Gabriel Rocha goes

Rosario Central paid $840.0K and Argentinos Juniors took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market

Argentinos Juniors get their man

The chase for Axel Bordón ended with $100.0K changing hands and Güemes out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Market

Rosario Central sign Gabriel Rocha for $840.0K

The paperwork is done: Gabriel Rocha joins from Argentinos Juniors in a deal worth $840.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Market

Rosario Central sign Leonardo Marchi for $390.0K

The paperwork is done: Leonardo Marchi joins from Central Córdoba SdE in a deal worth $390.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad

Tempers go at Rosario Central

Jeremías Ledesma was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Eyes on Damián Fernández again

The phone has started ringing about Damián Fernández again, and this time the name on the line is Defensores Unidos. Rosario Central are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Gaspar Duarte falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

When it matters, Agustín Sández plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

Alan Lescano signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Alan Lescano commits to Argentinos Juniors for another 4 years.

Squad

Diego Rodríguez 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 Argentinos Juniors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Hernán López Muñoz falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Lautaro Giaccone

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Alan Lescano 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.

Match

Point won or two lost for Argentinos Juniors?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Estudiantes? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.
