107 days out for Leandro Díaz after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Atlético Tucumán will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Gabriel Compagnucci: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Atlético Tucumán have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Words exchanged at Atlético Tucumán
Leandro Díaz 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.

The manager makes an example of Kevin Ortiz
“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.

Alexis Canelo 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.

Kevin Ortiz goes back to face Rosario Central
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Kevin Ortiz’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Atlético Tucumán needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Still no ink between Atlético Tucumán and Ezequiel Godoy
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Atlético Tucumán, another week without a signature from Ezequiel Godoy.

Lautaro Godoy asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
