Squad6 Sep 2027

Juan Iturbe damages knee ligaments — 144 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 144 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Alan Soñora breaks a bone — 63 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 63 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match6 Sep 2027

Cerro Porteno refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 48 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Market6 Sep 2027

Gabriel Aguayo asks to leave Cerro Porteno

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market6 Sep 2027

Gabriel Aguayo is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Cerro Porteno is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Manuel Roffo 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 Cerro Porteno this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Franco Alfonso 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.

Loan watch6 Sep 2027

Freddy Noguera counts the days

“I watch every Cerro Porteno game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Sportivo Luqueno runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout6 Sep 2027

Iván Ramírez has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Cerro Porteno 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.

Squad9 Aug 2027

94 days out for Alan Soñora after a fracture

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

Match9 Aug 2027

Cerro Porteno up to position 3

48 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

The dugout9 Aug 2027

Amín Molinas: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Cerro Porteno have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market9 Aug 2027

Only the photograph left for Gabriel Aguayo

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Gabriel Aguayo will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Cerro Porteno the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Manuel Roffo 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 Cerro Porteno this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Tobías Gavilán stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Tobías Gavilán and Cerro Porteno agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Words at Cerro Porteno training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mateo Klimowicz 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.

The dugout9 Aug 2027

Iván Ramírez has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Cerro Porteno 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 dugout9 Aug 2027

No hiding place for Tobías Gavilán

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

Match21 Jul 2027

Cerro Porteno through in the cup

A 4‑0 win over General Caballero JLM, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Market26 Jul 2027

Juan Iturbe agrees terms with General Caballero JLM

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Cerro Porteno people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market26 Jul 2027

Manuel Roffo 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 Cerro Porteno, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match21 Jul 2027

Cerro Porteno make home a hard place to visit

16 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Market26 Jul 2027

Tigres come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Cerro Porteno did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Alcides Ávalos takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

Cerro Porteno close the window on a squad of their own making

7 in and 16 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Words exchanged at Cerro Porteno

Manuel Roffo 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.

Player ratings26 Jul 2027

Gabriel Aguayo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Guillermo Benítez breaks a bone — 74 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 74 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market16 Nov 2026

Manuel Roffo 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 Cerro Porteno, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market16 Nov 2026

Tobías Marecos is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Cerro Porteno is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Cerro Porteno

Manuel Roffo 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.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Fabricio Domínguez 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.

Market16 Nov 2026

The Manuel Roffo talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Cerro Porteno know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Gustavo Velázquez 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 Gustavo Velázquez has written the date down.
