Squad

A fracture rules Mauricio Martínez out for 72 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Sarmiento will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

4 matches without a win for Sarmiento

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Sarmiento are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Javier Burrai 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 Sarmiento this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gastón González

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Sarmiento

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.

Squad

Words at Sarmiento training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thiago Santamaría is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Junior Marabel’s goal not enough for Sarmiento

Junior Marabel scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Banfield, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Market

One of our own: Toro joins the Sarmiento first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Toro is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Sarmiento promote Bruno Villalba from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bruno Villalba 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.

In brief
