A knee injury of the worst kind for Martín Garnerone
17 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Estudiantes lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Ramón Ábila asks to leave Estudiantes
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

7 matches without a win for Estudiantes
The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Estudiantes are no longer polite ones.

Match6 Feb 2027
Estudiantes come up short against Huracán
Huracán left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
In brief
