The Algeciras Chronicle
Squad28 Sep 2026
55 days out for Jorge Rastrojo after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Algeciras will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Javier Soto 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 Algeciras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match26 Sep 2026
A bad afternoon for Algeciras against Marbella
2‑3 to Marbella, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Dylan Ugarte
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Algeciras lose Manuel Cano
24 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 2‑3 Iván Camacho left the room before anybody could ask which.
Squad28 Sep 2026
A row about effort at Algeciras
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Álvaro Mayorga was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
Dylan Ugarte does not fit this one
Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Jony Álamo runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 7. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
In brief

- Looking ahead Home comforts ahead for Algeciras
