Rodrigo Stipech damages knee ligaments — 49 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 49 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.

Ernesto Ocampo 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 The request is on a desk at Salus, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad15 Nov 2027

A falling-out at Salus

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

The dugout15 Nov 2027

Alejo Cicconi 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.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Marcos Donato: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Salus will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Jorge Fontemachi is still paying for one afternoon at Salus

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The knee: Rodrigo Stipech out for 77 days

77 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Salus lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Martín Moas 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 Salus this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad18 Oct 2027

Juan Pablo Hernández 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.

60 days out for Brian Lugo after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Salus will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

No hiding place for Robert Machado

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

A door opens for Juan Pedro Riva

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Brian Lugo breaks a bone — 74 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 74 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Salus

Rodrigo Escandar 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.

Squad9 Aug 2027

A move Alejo Cicconi would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Alejo Cicconi is living that version at Salus, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Words at Salus training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Agustín Segundo 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.

The dugout9 Aug 2027

No hiding place for Reymond de Morales

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

Boardroom9 Aug 2027

Belts tighten at Salus

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

The dugout9 Aug 2027

Juan Pedro Riva 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 Salus, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout9 Aug 2027

The manager makes Robert Machado a promise

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

Market9 Aug 2027

Alejo Cicconi joins Salus on a free

No fee and no drama: Alejo Cicconi has signed at Salus, and the wage bill is the only line that moved.
