The knee: Tomás Sánchez out for 14 days
14 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. All Boys lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

A fracture rules Nicolás Carrizo out for 60 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason All Boys will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Tiago Rivao pulls a muscle — 15 days out
The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 15 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Words exchanged at All Boys
Santiago Apa 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.

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

Carlos Lucero 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 All Boys, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Nicolás Barrientos story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Nicolás Barrientos signs something — a contract at All Boys or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

A door opens for Gustavo Turraca
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.
In brief
- Match All Boys have something to play for
- Market Fernando Acosta leaves for nothing
- Market Instituto send scouts to watch Brandon López
