The Quilmes Chronicle
Squad8 Feb 2027
A knee injury of the worst kind for Lucas Romeo
106 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Quilmes lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match6 Feb 2027
9 matches without a win for Quilmes
The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around Quilmes are no longer polite ones.
Squad8 Feb 2027
41 days out for Mauro Fernández after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Quilmes will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Ramiro Luna asks to leave Quilmes
“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.
The dugout8 Feb 2027
Pío Bonacci says Quilmes went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Graduation day at Quilmes
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Ramiro Luna 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.

One of our own: Iván Luna joins the Quilmes first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Iván Luna is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Market Quilmes promote Bruno López from within
- Market Eduardo Torres steps up from the Quilmes academy
