Squad

Luiz damages knee ligaments — 45 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 45 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.

Match

The wait goes on for Artigas

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Victor Campos gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Victor Campos has just signed for Artigas, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Pablo Suárez 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 Artigas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Emilio MacEachen 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.

Match

Carlos da Rosa’s goal not enough for Artigas

Carlos da Rosa scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Plaza Colonia, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Harrison Wood

Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Carlos da Rosa changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Artigas had a different afternoon.

Market

Agustín Rodríguez arrives on loan

Artigas have taken Agustín Rodríguez on loan from Colon — cover where cover was needed.

The San Luis Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Mauro Iturra

34 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. San Luis lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Sergio Vergara 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 San Luis this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at San Luis training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Cristian González 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.

In brief
