The dugout

Leonel Ramírez frozen out at Canadian

This is not rotation. Leonel Ramírez has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Canadian is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Tempers go at Canadian

Agustín Campi 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 targets

Canadian rebuffed over Juan Manuel Mazzolo

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

Squad

A row about effort at Canadian

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

Boardroom

Wages eat 155% of everything Canadian earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

Ivan Lopez out for 16 days

The medical room confirms 16 days on the sidelines for Ivan Lopez, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Mauro García is in the works

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

The dugout

Nahuel Fernández is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout

Federico Coates asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

In brief
