Teenage Argentine player Nuin dies during knee surgery
The procedure - commonly performed on athletes - was intended to treat meniscal and cruciate ligament injuries to restore stability to the joint.
"It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Camilo Ernesto Nuin, a player in our Youth and Reserve Divisions, who was undergoing surgery today," San Telmo said on its official X account.
"The club will remain closed today as a sign of mourning. We join his family, friends, and teammates in this difficult time and remain at their disposal for anything they may need."
Neither the club nor local authorities have disclosed the specific cause of Nuin's death. Argentine media reported that further details are expected soon as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding his passing.
Nuin, a left-footed midfielder, joined San Telmo in 2022 after progressing through the youth academies of Argentine powerhouses Boca Juniors and Independiente.
Various Argentine football organizations, including the Argentine Football Association (AFA), have expressed their condolences.
"The Argentine Football Association, through its president Claudio Tapia and Executive Committee, expresses its sorrow at the death of Camilo Nuin and extends its condolences to the player's family," the AFA said. REUTERS

Argentine giants under pressure, surprise champions reset as Clausura starts
Boca Juniors and River Plate head into Argentina's Clausura (closing) championship aiming to restore their status at home after painful Club World Cup group-stage exits, while surprise champions Platense defend their title under new leadership. Despite their historic achievements, Boca and River endured a humbling first half of the season. River finished the Apertura (opening championship) strongly but stumbled in the quarter-finals, losing on penalties to eventual champions Platense. Their Club World Cup campaign did little to ease pressure on coach Marcelo Gallardo as his side managed only one win, against Japan's Urawa Reds, as they failed to reach the knockout stage. Losing teenage sensation Franco Mastantuono to Real Madrid further weakened River and, with no big-name signings yet, the Clausura presents them with an opportunity to regroup. They will open the campaign with a marquee match-up on Sunday against Platense. Bitter rivals Boca's outlook is not much brighter. Under Fernando Gago they showed some consistency but never convinced and a painful 2–1 Clasico defeat by River late in the Apertura proved the final straw as the coach departed. Boca's Club World Cup journey was equally disappointing, capped by being held to a shock draw by amateur side Auckland City that sealed their group-stage elimination, despite the incredible support of travelling fans across the United States. With World Cup winner Leandro Paredes returning from AS Roma and manager Miguel Angel Russo given time to steady the ship, Boca will look to improve. They open their campaign on Sunday at home to Argentinos Juniors. FRESH STARTS Challengers will not be in short supply. Rosario Central topped Group B in the Apertura but stumbled in the quarter-finals against eventual finalists Huracan. Now, the return of club great and national icon Angel Di Maria has reignited belief that early promise can turn into a serious title push. Among the tournament's long shots, all eyes will be on Platense as they try to prove their Apertura title was no fluke. The surprise champions are set to begin a new era, after coaching duo Favio Orsi and Sergio Gomez resigned just 10 days after lifting the trophy. In their place is Cristian Gonzalez, tasked with keeping the momentum alive at a club unaccustomed to life at the top. "In the first training session, I congratulated these guys because they want more," Gonzalez said during his presentation.
