Squad6 Dec 2027

Tarek Carranza damages knee ligaments — 45 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 45 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.

Boardroom6 Dec 2027

Juan Aurich put Victor Tapia on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market6 Dec 2027

Joao Acosta asks to leave Juan Aurich

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Words exchanged at Juan Aurich

Luis Ramos 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.

Transfer targets6 Dec 2027

Door shut on Seid Korać

Juan Aurich asked and Venezia said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Edinson Chávez 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.

Transfer targets6 Dec 2027

Juan Aurich ask about Franco Carboni

A loan enquiry to Inter: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets6 Dec 2027

Juan Aurich ask about Yannick Eduardo

A loan enquiry to TSG Hoffenheim: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Junior Díaz slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Junior Díaz is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad9 Aug 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Francesco Lara

21 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Juan Aurich lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad9 Aug 2027

A fracture rules Bryan Rivas out for 100 days

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

Squad9 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Juan Aurich

Luis Ramos 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.

Squad9 Aug 2027

A row about effort at Juan Aurich

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

The dugout9 Aug 2027

When it matters, Hoover Crespo plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market9 Aug 2027

36 months and counting on Bryan Ormeño

Still no offer on the table, and Bryan Ormeño’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad25 Jan 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Robert Alarcón

106 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Juan Aurich lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A fracture rules Ignacio Juárez out for 25 days

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

Market25 Jan 2027

Juan Aurich say no — this time

The offer from IMT for Alfredo Carrillo was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

A long bet from Juan Aurich on Junior Díaz

He is 20, and nobody at Juan Aurich signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
