Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Racing Club will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Adrián Martínez and Racing Club agree another 2 years.
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Joan Velázquez has agreed terms with Sacachispas for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.
Marked 7.18 on 14 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.
River Plate left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Matías Acevedo is the division's best young player this month
At 19 he has spent a month being better than everybody his age in the league, which is a different and harder thing than one good afternoon. Racing Club will try very hard not to make too much of it.
A 4‑1 win over Central Córdoba SdE, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Racing Club will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Marcos Landaburu had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Thiago Taborda did not need any: 7.74, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.
4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Racing Club close the window on a squad of their own making
9 in and 9 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mirlind Daku was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Matías Pérez 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.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Marco Di Cesare was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
11 goals in 13 games at Guarani — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Racing Club updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Thiago Taborda and Racing Club agree another 4 years.
7.92, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Racing Club had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Luis Chávez is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.
Position 3, 21 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Marco Di Cesare was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Ignacio Galván 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.
“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 Racing Club, and it is not being withdrawn.

Thiago Taborda, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.73
A mark of 7.73 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
“I watch every Racing Club game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Rubio Nu runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
The words a physio says slowly. 99 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.
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Francisco Fraga will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Racing Club the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Matías Pérez 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 phone has started ringing about Lucio Latorre again, and this time the name on the line is Pyunik. Racing Club are listening politely and promising nothing.

Words at Racing Club training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marco Di Cesare 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.
