Javier Quiroz damages knee ligaments — 52 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 52 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.

96 days out for Facundo Peraza after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Magallanes will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Milton Alegre in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Magallanes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A move Vinicius Eduardo would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Vinicius Eduardo is living that version at Magallanes, and it tends to show in the first month.
Match13 Mar 2027
3 matches without a goal for Magallanes
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Cobreloa take the points off Magallanes
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Lucas Alarcón gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Gonzalo Aravena answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Facundo Melivilo was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 15. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
In brief
- Market Magallanes buy the years ahead of Ramiro Suárez
- Market Magallanes sign Juan Obregón, one for the future
- The dugout A promise honoured at Magallanes
