Squad

Derlis Romero damages knee ligaments — 42 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 42 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Ramón Ortigoza out for 84 days

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

Squad

Words exchanged at River Plate

Ramón Ortigoza 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

Ramón Ortigoza breaks a bone — 108 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 108 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Tempers go at River Plate

Ramón Ortigoza 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.

Market

River Plate promote Luis Balbuena from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Luis Balbuena has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Luis Cardozo joins the River Plate first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Luis Cardozo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

9 new faces, and River Plate are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

A row about effort at River Plate

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

Squad

Ramón Ortigoza breaks a bone — 116 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 116 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Words exchanged at River Plate

Ramón Ortigoza 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

Enzo García is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Enzo García has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad

Words at River Plate training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Cristian Sosa 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

River Plate and Jonathan González are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

Rodolfo Rodríguez placed on the list

River Plate have made Rodolfo Rodríguez available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.
