Squad

Nahuel Sena damages knee ligaments — 23 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 23 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.

The dugout

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Matías Hernández has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Cerro have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

In brief
