90 days out for Lucas Baldunciel after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. San Telmo will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Match12 Sep 2026
Nowhere to hide for San Telmo
1‑4 against Talleres, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Juan Cruz Zurbriggen 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 The request is on a desk at San Telmo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Successful dribbles: 30. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Juan Cruz Zurbriggen 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 Telmo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Martín Batallini 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.

The manager makes an example of Facundo Roncaglia
“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.

Luis Colombo steps up from the San Telmo academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Luis Colombo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Nacho joins the San Telmo first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Nacho is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
