Lucas Espinosa damages knee ligaments — 85 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 85 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.

Facundo Vigo 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. Facundo Vigo has, at Colon, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Emiliano Rossi steps up from the Colon academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Emiliano Rossi 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.
