Marcelo Jorquera breaks a bone — 88 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 88 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The knee: Jorge Davila out for 22 days
22 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. San Luis lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Match17 Feb 2029
The wait goes on for San Luis
8 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.
Match17 Feb 2029
The goals have deserted San Luis
8 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at San Luis can tell you which week it ends in.

Facundo Juárez 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 San Luis this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

San Luis lose Erick Isla
27 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Sergio Vergara 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.

Half-satisfied: Francisco Jara on the draw
“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

San Luis pick somebody else ahead of Joel Torres
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
In brief
- The dugout Martin Carreño has become a man the manager trusts
- Match No goals between San Luis and Cobresal
- Looking ahead Ignacio Meza faces his old club
