A knee injury of the worst kind for Augusto Lucero
53 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Gimnasia y Esgrima lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Alan Chacón breaks a bone — 105 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 105 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Martín Rossi keeps Gimnasia y Esgrima in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

5 matches without a win for Gimnasia y Esgrima

Augusto Lucero 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 Gimnasia y Esgrima this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A bad afternoon for Gimnasia y Esgrima against Quilmes
1‑2 to Quilmes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Augusto Lucero linked with a move away
The name of Augusto Lucero keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Gimnasia y Esgrima say nothing, which says plenty.

Off the pace: Felipe Otero
A mark of 5.45 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

An afternoon Valentín Pereyra will want back
Marked 5.73. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.
In brief
- Player ratings Alejandro Fernández runs at them all day
- Market Toro leaves for nothing
- Market Nicolás Romero leaves for nothing
