Maximiliano Coronel damages knee ligaments — 27 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 27 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.

62 days out for Ricardo Blanco after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. All Boys will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Market5 Apr 2027
Ariel Torres puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at All Boys, and it is not being withdrawn.

Gustavo Turraca has his eye on Europe
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether All Boys can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Cristo Lozada Echenique is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at All Boys is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Tempers go at All Boys
Iván Zafarana 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.

Words at All Boys training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolás Barrientos 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.

Alejo Rodríguez gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Loan watch5 Apr 2027
Diego Guallama counts the days
“I watch every All Boys game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Budafoki MTE runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
In brief
- The dugout Juan Pablo Noce is still being punished for one mistake
- Match All Boys and Güemes take a point apiece
- Player ratings Nicolás Barrientos runs at them all day
