Squad

20 days out for Pol after a fracture

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

The dugout

Vinicius Alemão says Huracán went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Words at Huracán training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Guillermo Enrique 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

Rodrigo González 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 Huracán this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Mohammed Al-Zaid wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Huracán can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout

Óscar Cortés gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Óscar Cortés is on it.

Market

Luca Martino is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Huracán has been clear about where Luca Martino stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout

Huracán keep their word to Mariano Díaz

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout

No hiding place for Nehemías Portillo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nehemías Portillo, and the manager let it.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Huracán

0‑3 against Sarmiento, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad

27 days out for Pol after a fracture

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

The dugout

Enzo Guerrero frozen out at Huracán

This is not rotation. Enzo Guerrero has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Huracán is pretending otherwise.

Market

Othonas Karo has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Huracán they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Enzo Guerrero 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 Huracán this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Huracán

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

Squad

Appearance number 100 for Javier Pascual

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Huracán dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout

Alejandro Iglesias: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

In brief

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Pol breaks a bone — 34 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 34 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Lucas Maciel 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 Huracán, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A falling-out at Huracán

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

Squad

Lukas Larsen falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Banfield snatch it back from Huracán

A goal on 92 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Player ratings

Marcelo Pérez stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.88 on the card, and the Huracán support went home talking about one name.

The dugout

Mariano Díaz 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.

Match

Huracán share the spoils with Banfield

A 1‑1 draw with Banfield leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Alejandro Iglesias was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Huracán dressing room was either.
