Squad

31 days out for Danilo Lerda after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Atenas will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Agustín Navarro

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

The dugout

When it matters, Emilio Crespo plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

40 days out for Guillermo Oroño after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Atenas will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Tempers go at Atenas

Facundo Briñón was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Atenas promote Gabriel Valverde from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Gabriel Valverde has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Gaston Rodriguez steps up from the Atenas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Gaston Rodriguez 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.

Squad

17 new faces, and Atenas are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Facundo Briñón's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Brian González

7.64, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Atenas had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
