A fracture rules Nicolás Meriano out for 28 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Banfield will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Diego Rodríguez keeps Banfield in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Joaquín Molina has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Banfield they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Tomás Adoryan 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 Banfield this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Santiago Luján will join Banfield for nothing
The paperwork is done long before the player is. Santiago Luján has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Banfield have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.
Match15 Aug 2026
Banfield cannot find the net
3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.
Match15 Aug 2026
A bad afternoon for Banfield against River Plate
0‑1 to River Plate, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

David Zalazar 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.

Jonatan Gómez 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.
In brief
- The dugout Iván Correa faces the questions
- Looking ahead Nehuén Paz goes back to face Huracán
- Player ratings Lisandro Piñero leaves them behind him
