Luis Castro damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 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.

Boardroom31 Jan 2028

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Lito

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market31 Jan 2028

Alto Peru come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Lito did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad31 Jan 2028

A falling-out at Lito

Mateo Álvarez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets31 Jan 2028

Lito rebuffed over Isaías Sierra

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Cerro have kept their man, and Lito go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets31 Jan 2028

A loan move for Ramiro Bertalmio is in the works

Lito have made the call to Fenix. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets31 Jan 2028

A loan move for Facundo Godoy is in the works

Lito have made the call to Frontera Rivera. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Boardroom31 Jan 2028

Lito have to sell first

The manager has a list and the board has a condition attached to it. That is not a crisis — half of football works this way — but it decides which of the two of them gets his way in August.

Squad31 Jan 2028

A row about effort at Lito

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mathias Castro was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad24 Jan 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Luis Castro

27 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Lito lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Transfer targets24 Jan 2028

Juan Raffaelli due for a Lito medical

Everything agreed with Rampla Juniors, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Tempers go at Lito

Facundo Romero 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.

Transfer targets24 Jan 2028

Door shut on Ramiro Bertalmio

Lito asked and Fenix said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Luis Suárez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Luis Suárez commits to Lito for another 2 years.

Boardroom24 Jan 2028

95% of the income goes out in wages at Lito

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.
