Carlos Rivas damages knee ligaments — 43 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 43 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.

Cerrito say no — this time
The offer from ASIL Lysi for Tobías Quinteros 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.

Anthony Segovia has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Cerrito they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Tempers go at Cerrito
Francisco Casanova 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.

A row about effort at Cerrito
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Santiago Viera was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Franko Ramos wants to come home
“I did not go to Alto Peru to sit and watch. I want to come back to Cerrito and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 29 matches say the rest.

Francisco Casanova gets picked when it counts
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Francisco Casanova is on it.

The manager makes an example of Tobías Quinteros
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The manager has not finished forgetting Mathías Rodríguez's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
In brief
- The dugout Cristian González knocks on the manager's door
- Market Cerrito put Anthony Segovia up for sale
- Squad Juan Castillo back in training
