Squad

Gonzalo Lencina out for 21 days

The medical room confirms 21 days on the sidelines for Gonzalo Lencina, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Nahuel Romero 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 Platense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Nicolás Sumavil stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Nicolás Sumavil and Platense agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words at Platense training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Maximiliano Amarfil 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.

Market

A long bet from Platense on Andrés Lombardi

He is 19, and nobody at Platense signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market

Juan Reyes leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Juan Reyes leaves Platense the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Franco Minerva

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

Squad

A fracture rules Gonzalo Lencina out for 16 days

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

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Nicolás Sumavil

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

A brace, and Axel Pedrozo takes the afternoon — 8.42

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Axel Pedrozo provided it, and the 8.42 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Tobías Armas keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Platense may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match

Platense see off Independiente

Three points for Platense, 2‑1 the final word against Independiente in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Agustín Alonso runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Matías Dalale placed on the list

Platense have made Matías Dalale available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Boardroom

The Platense production line keeps running

74 graduates out of an academy now rated 9 out of 20. Clubs this size survive on exactly that, and the town knows every name.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Iván Gómez

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

Squad

Nicolás Sumavil: 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.” Platense have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Agustín Alonso 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 Platense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
