Squad23 Nov 2026

The knee: Miguel Benítez out for 25 days

25 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. River Plate lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Only the photograph left for Rodolfo Rodríguez

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Rodolfo Rodríguez will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around River Plate the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at River Plate

Miguel Benítez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Edgar Valdez out for 37 days

The medical room confirms 37 days on the sidelines for Edgar Valdez, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The manager makes an example of Juan González

“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.

The knee: Damián Cabrera out for 30 days

30 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. River Plate lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Both of them Rodrigo Fariña's — 8.34

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.34, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market14 Sep 2026

Damián Cabrera has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around River Plate they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Up for the corner, and Enzo Ortiz delivers — 7.49

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Enzo Ortiz scored, was marked 7.49, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Boardroom14 Sep 2026

Damián Cabrera has agreed to leave River Plate for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Words exchanged at River Plate

Alexis Rojas and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

River Plate get the job done against Sportivo Carapegua

A 3‑2 win over Sportivo Carapegua, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

River Plate supporters have found a favourite in Rodrigo Fariña

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Rodrigo Fariña has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

One of our own: Edgar Valdez joins the River Plate first team

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