Squad29 Nov 2027

Ricardo Priori 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.

Squad29 Nov 2027

51 days out for Alan Visco after a fracture

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

Match27 Nov 2027

Sacachispas run riot against UAI Urquiza

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

The dugout29 Nov 2027

Santino Primante: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Sacachispas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market29 Nov 2027

Diego Andrada hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Sacachispas can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings29 Nov 2027

Mateo Pérez Curci, 21, steals the show — 8.04

Marked 8.04 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Words exchanged at Sacachispas

Lautaro Torres and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces29 Nov 2027

The crowd has taken to Jerónimo Gómez Mattar

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Words at Sacachispas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Emanuel Barreiro 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 Newell's Old Boys Herald

19 Apr 2027
From our football correspondent Upbeat

The dugout19 Apr 2027

Bruno Cabrera keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Newell's Old Boys may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Newell's Old Boys

Milton Delgado 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.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Santiago Solari 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.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

Luis Ingolotti 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.

Player ratings19 Apr 2027

Walter Mazzantti was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. 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.

Match17 Apr 2027

José Manuel López sends Newell's Old Boys past Unión de Santa Fe

It finished 1‑0, and it was José Manuel López’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Newell's Old Boys.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Newell's Old Boys lose Jerónimo Gómez Mattar

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

Player ratings19 Apr 2027

Nobody on the pitch touched José Manuel López

7.85, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Newell's Old Boys had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

The manager has not finished forgetting Ian Glavinovich's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

In brief
