99 days out for Mateo Peralta after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Unión de Santa Fe will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Enzo Roldán says Unión de Santa Fe went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

A falling-out at Unión de Santa Fe
Mauro Pittón and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Words at Unión de Santa Fe training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fernando Díaz 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.

Independiente take the points off Unión de Santa Fe
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout13 Aug 2029
No hiding place for Diego Armando Díaz
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Diego Armando Díaz, and the manager let it.

Too much change too quickly at Unión de Santa Fe
8 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 manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Andrés Marino left the room before anybody could ask which.

Unión de Santa Fe buy the years ahead of Beppe Bössman
He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
In brief
- The dugout Gastón Arturia gets picked when it counts
- Market No place for Matías Schulz in the plan
- Market José Graterol brings the grey hairs Unión de Santa Fe lacked
