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.

Gerónimo Norbedo damages knee ligaments — 17 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 17 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Patronato take the points off All Boys
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
In brief
