Loren Morón damages knee ligaments — 38 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 38 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.

6 saves: Jonmi Magunagoitia was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
Player ratings23 Aug 2027
Adu Ares was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 26. 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.
Match21 Aug 2027
After 9 games, Eibar finally taste it again
The first defeat in 9 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Elche; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

Eibar tie Álvaro Blanco down
A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.

A falling-out at Eibar
Jon Bautista and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The step up is real for Ramiro Centurión
At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Eibar rebuffed over Alerrandro
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. CSKA Moscow have kept their man, and Eibar go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Match21 Aug 2027
Elche take the points off Eibar
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
In brief
- Market Peru Nolaskoain told to find a new club
- The dugout Álvaro Blanco answers for it
- The dugout No hiding place for Imanol
