Marked for Alejandro Suárez

109 Edition

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

16 days out for Octavio Bianchi after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Gimnasia y Esgrima will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

The knee: Valentino Ferreyra out for 17 days

17 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Gimnasia y Esgrima lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

The wait goes on for Gimnasia y Esgrima

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings

David Gallardo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words exchanged at Gimnasia y Esgrima

Milton Álvarez 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.

Squad

Alejandro Suárez out for 20 days

The medical room confirms 20 days on the sidelines for Alejandro Suárez, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Player ratings

Franco Camargo stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.27 on the card, and the Gimnasia y Esgrima support went home talking about one name.

The dugout

Alejo Navarro gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

Facundo Lombardi: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

In brief

Back issues

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A fracture rules Octavio Bianchi out for 44 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Gimnasia y Esgrima will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Alejo Navarro puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Gimnasia y Esgrima, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Gonzalo Villarreal frozen out at Gimnasia y Esgrima

This is not rotation. Gonzalo Villarreal has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Gimnasia y Esgrima is pretending otherwise.

Transfer targets

No deal for Francisco Garrido at that price

Gimnasia y Esgrima offered $480.0K; Ferro Carril Oeste said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

A falling-out at Gimnasia y Esgrima

Juan Pablo Córdoba and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Nahuel Denis’s goal not enough for Gimnasia y Esgrima

Nahuel Denis scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Central Norte, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Words at Gimnasia y Esgrima training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Milton Álvarez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Gimnasia y Esgrima lose Alejandro Suárez

48 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Transfer targets

Luciano Sokolic stays at River Plate as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Gimnasia y Esgrima will try again when the window opens; River Plate may not be selling by then.

In brief
