Squad

72 days out for Lorenzo Albano after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Cerro will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Cerro

Ignacio Sosa 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

Words at Cerro training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Valentín Adamo 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

Talks stall between Cerro and Nahuel Acosta

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Iván López is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Iván López 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.

The dugout

Cristian Rodríguez knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Cristian Rodríguez trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Lorenzo Albano breaks a bone — 87 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 87 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Jeison Cubas puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Cerro, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Ignacio Sosa 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 Cerro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Francisco Ortega

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

Squad

11 new faces, and Cerro 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.

The dugout

Jairo Amaro has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Cerro will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

A door opens for Nahuel Acosta

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Market

Jairo Amaro placed on the list

Cerro have made Jairo Amaro available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad

The knee: Nahuel Arena out for 38 days

38 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Cerro lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Ian Subiabre at 21 — 7.74

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Ian Subiabre did not need any: 7.74, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Jeison Cubas puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Cerro, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Cerro

Alejo Macelli 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.

Squad

At 21, Ian Subiabre is already the best thing here

An average of 7.00 in a first team he is several years too young for. Cerro have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad

Ian Subiabre 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.

Market

Thomás Romero attracts admirers

The name of Thomás Romero has come up in conversations Cerro were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The dugout

No hiding place for Iván López

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Iván López, and the manager let it.

Match

Cerro get the job done against Miramar Misiones

A 1‑0 win over Miramar Misiones, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
