Squad8 Mar 2027
Federico Milo breaks a bone — 36 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 36 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

A brace, and Juan Bisanz takes the afternoon — 8.15
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Juan Bisanz provided it, and the 8.15 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Squad8 Mar 2027
“The easiest signature of my career.” Hernán Galíndez and Huracán agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Squad8 Mar 2027
Juan Bisanz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Match6 Mar 2027
It finished 3‑1, and it was Juan Bisanz’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Huracán.
Match6 Mar 2027
Huracán are at home on the road
3 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Fabio Pereyra 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.
Player ratings8 Mar 2027
Óscar Cortés was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.21. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
The dugout8 Mar 2027
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
Back issues

Squad18 Jan 2027
A fracture rules Federico Milo out for 93 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Huracán will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Match18 Jan 2027
The view from the top for Huracán
27 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.
Squad18 Jan 2027
Words exchanged at Huracán
Juan Bisanz 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.
Squad18 Jan 2027
Leonardo Gil 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.
Squad18 Jan 2027
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Natanael Samaniego and Huracán agree another 4 years.
Market18 Jan 2027
Santos Laguna are about to pick up the phone
A conversation is coming this week. Huracán will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.
The dugout18 Jan 2027
Martín Nervo asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
The dugout18 Jan 2027
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 Guillermo Enrique is on it.
Market18 Jan 2027
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Juan Bisanz’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Federico Milo breaks a bone — 107 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 107 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Squad4 Jan 2027
There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Huracán will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.
Market4 Jan 2027
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Squad4 Jan 2027
Leonardo Gil 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.
Squad4 Jan 2027
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Rodrigo Cabral and Huracán agree another 4 years.
Market4 Jan 2027
The clock runs on Rodrigo Cabral's contract
49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
Market4 Jan 2027
Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Huracán will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.
The dugout4 Jan 2027
Óscar Cortés has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Huracán will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
The dugout4 Jan 2027
The manager has not finished forgetting Lucas Ortíz's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
