The knee: Oscar Sanabria out for 34 days
34 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Rubio Nu lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

A fracture rules Angel Almiron out for 56 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Rubio Nu will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Words exchanged at Rubio Nu
Thiago Cáceres 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.

A season away well spent by Santiago Rossi
29 games, 7 goals, and a squad option that has arrived without a fee attached. The interesting question at Rubio Nu now is not whether he plays but who he displaces.
Transfer targets31 Dec 2035
A loan move for Antonio González is in the works
Rubio Nu have made the call to Olimpia. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The manager makes an example of Manuel Ramirez
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The Joaquín Sevegnani question follows Rubio Nu around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Joaquín Sevegnani’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
The dugout31 Dec 2035
Joaquín Sevegnani has been promised minutes
A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Joaquín Sevegnani has written the date down.

Still no ink between Rubio Nu and Rubén Solís
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Rubio Nu, another week without a signature from Rubén Solís.
In brief
- Market Still no signature from Miguel Ochoa
- Boardroom The Rubio Nu production line keeps running
- Squad Jefferson Cartagena is not doing himself any favours
