Matías Wysocki damages knee ligaments — 75 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 75 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.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Santiago Rodríguez and Brown de Adrogué agree another 3 years.
The dugout2 Nov 2026
Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Enzo Gutiérrez chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Marcos Aguirre has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.
