Fabrizio Martínez damages knee ligaments — 18 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 18 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.
The dugout26 Oct 2026
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Huracán may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Player ratings26 Oct 2026
Successful dribbles: 25. 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.
Squad26 Oct 2026
Words exchanged at Huracán
Juan Bisanz 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.
Squad26 Oct 2026
A row about effort at Huracán
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Leonardo Gil was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Match24 Oct 2026
A 1‑0 win over Independiente Rivadavia, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Squad26 Oct 2026
Too much change too quickly at Huracán
16 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
The dugout26 Oct 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Martín Nervo, and the manager let it.
The dugout26 Oct 2026
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Felipe Ortiz could afford to be generous.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Fabrizio Martínez
26 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Huracán lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Market19 Oct 2026
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Huracán they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
Squad19 Oct 2026
Leonardo Gil 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.

Lucio Falasco gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Lucio Falasco has just signed for Huracán, and for once the answer mattered.
Squad19 Oct 2026
Words at Huracán training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fabio Pereyra 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 dugout19 Oct 2026
“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.
Looking ahead19 Oct 2026
He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Independiente Rivadavia in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
Martín Nervo knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Martín Nervo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
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.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Fabrizio Martínez
34 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Huracán lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match10 Oct 2026
Beaten 0‑4 by Belgrano, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.
Squad12 Oct 2026
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Market12 Oct 2026
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Huracán is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Match10 Oct 2026
4 matches without a win for Huracán
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Huracán are no longer polite ones.
Squad12 Oct 2026
Leonardo Gil 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 Huracán this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad12 Oct 2026
Fabio Pereyra 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.
Boardroom12 Oct 2026
Doors closed at Huracán
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
The dugout12 Oct 2026
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑4, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

A falling-out at Huracán
Juan Bisanz and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match3 Oct 2026
0‑1 to Argentinos Juniors, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
Player ratings5 Oct 2026
Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Squad5 Oct 2026
Juan Bisanz named player of the month
The award goes to Juan Bisanz, and nobody around here is inclined to argue with the choice.
The dugout5 Oct 2026
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
The dugout5 Oct 2026
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
The dugout5 Oct 2026
The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
