Squad29 Nov 2027

A fracture rules Bruno Larregui out for 58 days

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

Market29 Nov 2027

Ignacio Mujica has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Juventud they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Juventud

Rodrigo Chagas 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.

Loan watch29 Nov 2027

Nobody is scoring past Nicolás Rossi at Oriental

14 shut-outs in 26 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Nicolás Rossi has been having a lot of them.

The dugout29 Nov 2027

The manager makes an example of Emanuel Cecchini

“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.

Squad29 Nov 2027

A row about effort at Juventud

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

The dugout29 Nov 2027

Geiner Martínez has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Juventud 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.

Market29 Nov 2027

The Rodrigo Chagas talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Juventud know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout29 Nov 2027

Facundo Domínguez knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Juventud, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad18 Oct 2027

Bruno Larregui breaks a bone — 102 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 102 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout18 Oct 2027

Damián Ruis: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Juventud have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market18 Oct 2027

Damián Ruis has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Juventud they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad18 Oct 2027

A falling-out at Juventud

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

Squad18 Oct 2027

David Morosini 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.

The dugout18 Oct 2027

When it matters, Sebastián Sosa 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.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Sebastián Sosa breaks a bone — 33 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 33 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad27 Sep 2027

David Morosini falls out with a teammate over standards

The dugout27 Sep 2027

The manager makes an example of Agustín Alaniz

“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 dugout27 Sep 2027

Fernando Mimbacas gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Fernando Mimbacas is on it.

Market27 Sep 2027

Tomás Regina told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Tomás Regina has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Juventud.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

Facundo Barceló knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Juventud, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market27 Sep 2027

The Bruno Larregui question follows Juventud around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Bruno Larregui’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Loan watch27 Sep 2027

Gonzalo Gómez keeps scoring at Atenas

25 appearances away from home and 3 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Player ratings7 Jun 2027

Rodrigo Chagas beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 34. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad7 Jun 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Iván González

19 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Juventud lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market7 Jun 2027

Pablo Lago has said yes to Terremoto

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Juventud have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market7 Jun 2027

Franco Risso asks to leave Juventud

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Tempers go at Juventud

Sebastián Sosa 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.

Market7 Jun 2027

The Fabrizio Correa conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Fortaleza will make the call about Fabrizio Correa this week. Juventud have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Market7 Jun 2027

Gastón Pereiro attracts admirers

The name of Gastón Pereiro has come up in conversations Juventud were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Door shut on Tomás O'Connor

Juventud asked and Gimnasia y Esgrima said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match5 Jun 2027

Juventud make home a hard place to visit

8 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Martín Boselli says Juventud 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Julian Brandes is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Martín Cáceres is slowing down

At 39, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Squad19 Oct 2026

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