The Eibar Herald

A fracture rules Mateo Torrisi out for 58 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Eibar will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Boardroom28 Jan 2036
Pressure builds in the Eibar boardroom
The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

The knee: Daniel Carrasco out for 20 days
20 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Eibar lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Davit Hakobyan 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 The request is on a desk at Eibar, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tomás Lavezzi is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Eibar is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Ibon Sánchez will not be coming to Eibar
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Athletic Bilbao is saying, and nobody at Eibar is enjoying the guessing.

Sten Kremers 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 Eibar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Eibar rebuffed over Pedro González
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Real Madrid have kept their man, and Eibar go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Match26 Jan 2036
Whatever happens, Eibar do not lose
6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.
In brief
