Market

Terms done: Ángel Sánchez is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and General Caballero JLM waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Sportivo Trinidense is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Transfer targets

Kevin Lezcano is a medical away from Sportivo Trinidense

The deal with Tembetary is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Ian Subiabre 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 Sportivo Trinidense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Sportivo Trinidense rebuffed over Alfio Oviedo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Tigre have kept their man, and Sportivo Trinidense go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Erik López 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.

Squad

Sportivo Trinidense count the cost of losing Ivan Cubas

23 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Transfer targets

Sportivo Trinidense ask about Leandro Moreira

A loan enquiry to Barracas Central: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Joel Román

“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 dugout

Maximiliano Centurión knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Sportivo Trinidense, and both men came out saying it was fine.

In brief
