Squad

Juan Lombardi breaks a bone — 17 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 17 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Franco Ayunta: 11 seasons and counting

132 appearances across 11 seasons in one shirt. Careers like that are not built on purpose any more, and Temperley know exactly what they have.

Match

7 unbeaten for Temperley

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Temperley did not have in the autumn.

Transfer targets

Temperley rebuffed over Lucas González

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

Squad

Albert Razmõslov arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Albert Razmõslov has, at Temperley, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Temperley

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.

Squad

Lorenzo Monti 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 Temperley this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

One of our own: Pablo Di María joins the Temperley first team

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

Facundo Álvarez steps up from the Temperley academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Facundo Álvarez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
