Squad7 Sep 2026

A fracture rules Sebastián Fernández out for 136 days

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

Market7 Sep 2026

Danubio turn down Bukovyna for Matías Contrera

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Hugo Silveira 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 Danubio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A step back for Sebastián Rodríguez at Danubio

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tomás Cavanagh 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.

Looking ahead7 Sep 2026

Sebastián Fernández faces his old club

Liverpool Montevideo next, and one man in the Danubio dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

The manager makes Jonathan dos Santos a promise

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

Market7 Sep 2026

Danubio and Enzo Siri are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Enzo Siri 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 Danubio, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match12 Aug 2026

The cup run ends for Danubio

0‑1 against Atenas, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Danubio lose Iván Rossi

43 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market17 Aug 2026

Danubio say no — this time

The offer from Omiya Ardija for Matías Contrera was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Mathías Bernatene will join Danubio for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Mathías Bernatene has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Danubio have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Mauro Goicoechea

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mauro Goicoechea, and the manager let it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Bautista Pereira was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Appearance number 100 for Joaquín Trasante

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Danubio dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Danubio

Tomás Cavanagh 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.
