Marked for Leandro Larroza

Squad

48 days out for Favio Funes after a fracture

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

The dugout

Semi Ajayi keeps the receipts

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

Market

Yonghyun Park has said yes to Lokomotiv Sofia

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. AFC Wimbledon have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Squad

Words exchanged at AFC Wimbledon

Marcus Browne 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.

Squad

Leandro Larroza arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Leandro Larroza has, at AFC Wimbledon, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market

Crotone watching Darío Espínola

The interest is real enough to have reached print. AFC Wimbledon have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Costinha 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.

Boardroom

AFC Wimbledon agree a free transfer for Abdelhakim Omrani

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Transfer targets

AFC Wimbledon rebuffed over Max Davies

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Blackburn Rovers have kept their man, and AFC Wimbledon go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The Ferro Carril Oeste Sentinel

12 Apr 2027
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Leandro Larroza 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 The request is on a desk at Ferro Carril Oeste, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Fernando Monetti 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 Ferro Carril Oeste this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Loan watch

The goals keep arriving from Thiago Luppi’s exile

16 goals in 6 games at Rewa — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Ferro Carril Oeste updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Player ratings

Nicolás Retamar beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

A row about effort at Ferro Carril Oeste

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Gustavo Canto was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Ferro Carril Oeste come up short against Alvarado

Alvarado left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

No hiding place for Fernando Monetti

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

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Juan Martín Ferrari to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout

Fernando Monetti gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Fernando Monetti is on it.
