Marcos Minetti damages knee ligaments — 51 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 51 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.
Squad23 Aug 2027
Lucas Lavagnino stands alone
11 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.
Squad23 Aug 2027
Mario Maroto breaks a bone — 23 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 23 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Raúl Navarro says Andorra 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.

Real improvement from Marc Bombardó at Andorra
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Marc Bombardó is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Only the photograph left for Sergio Molina
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Sergio Molina will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Andorra the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Graduation day at Andorra
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.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
Andorra rebuffed over Aimar Sánchez
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Barcelona have kept their man, and Andorra go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Match21 Aug 2027
A bad afternoon for Andorra against Las Palmas
1‑2 to Las Palmas, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
