The Queretaro Sentinel
Squad27 Sep 2027
36 days out for Carlo Adriano after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Queretaro will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

José Hernández keeps Queretaro in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The wait goes on for Queretaro
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Queretaro count the cost of losing Lucas Abascia
39 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Lucas Abascia 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 Queretaro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Jhojan Julio’s goal not enough for Queretaro
Jhojan Julio scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Monterrey, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

No hiding place for Santiago Trigos
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Santiago Trigos, and the manager let it.

The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Jose Lozano to a room that had heard them before.

Somebody else is better right now than Guillermo Allison
The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.
In brief
- The dugout The plan did not have a place for Diego Reyes
- Looking ahead Guillermo Allison faces his old club
- Player ratings Juan López changes it off the bench
