Martinez (inner left knee ligament strain) and Suárez (right knee discomfort) trained differently, according to the River press, but in contact with the ball.
The former Defense and Justice has not played since the third date, in the 2-0 win as a visitor against Newell’s Old Boys, in Rosario; and the striker added a few minutes against San Lorenzo and Deportivo Laferrere, for the Argentine Cup, after a long inactivity due to the operation that involved cleaning the knee joint.
Marcelo Gallardo He has already expressed his position of not forcing the full recovery of both soccer players and tomorrow they will be required to determine their participation in the squad that will receive Boca at the Monumental.
The footballers worked at the River Camp where they carried out physical-technical exercises on a reduced pitch. For the second day in a row, Gallardo did not have a team on the pitch and only tomorrow will there be any clues about it.
River has the possibility of repeating against Boca although Gallardo will analyze in detail which formation will suit him best. Beyond some untouchable names, the “Muñeco” has options such as Agustín Palavecino or Juan Fernando Quintero for the Uruguayan Nicolás De La Cruz.
The possibility of adding a center back to the defense or adding Braian Romero to the attack together with the leading scorer and figure Julián Álvarez.
The probable alignment would be with Franco Armani; Robert Rojas, Paulo Díaz, Leandro González Pirez and Milton Casco; Enzo Perez; Enzo Fernández, Santiago Simón, De La Cruz or Palavecino and Esequiel Barco; and Julian Alvarez.
River, one of the leaders of group 1 of the Professional League Cup, will return to training tomorrow at the River Camp, behind closed doors, from 5:00 p.m.
In Boca they return two
Darío Benedetto and Oscar Romero participated in Boca soccer practicethis morning at the Ezeiza property, while Marcos Rojo did not do so as a precaution due to slight muscle discomfort.
Both players, who are in doubt due to muscle injuries, alternated minutes with the youth players Luis Vázquez and Aaron Molinas
Coach Sebastián Battaglia lined up this team: Agustín Rossi; Luis Advíncula, Carlos Zambrano, Nicolás Figal and Frank Fabra; Cristian Medina, Guillermo “Pol” Fernández and Juan Ramírez; Mills (Rosemary); Sebastian Villa and Vazquez (Benedetto).
The substitute team formed with Javier Garcia; Marcelo Weigandt, Gabriel Aranda, Gastón Ávila and Agustín Sandez; Jorman Campuzano and Gabriel Vega; Exequiel Zeballos, Eduardo Salvio and Norberto Briasco; Nicholas Orsini.
Benedict, As told to Télam by those close to the coaching staff, he would be fine from his injury to the peroneal muscle of his right leg, for which he did not play against Huracán and Estudiantes de La Plata.
The player is not in his physical prime, but the idea is that at 70 percent he is important to play against River and, furthermore, the striker does not want to lose the superclásico in any way.
Tomorrow will be a key day, since it could be from the start of soccer practice for the starters and then there will be more certainty about the team for the weekend.
It is clear that he will be on the concentrated list and then it will be determined if he plays from the beginning or on the substitute bench. Some relativize that idea and think that if he is summoned it is to be there from the start.
As for Romero, the same source stressed that his performance was surprising, especially when yesterday it was thought that he was almost ruled out for Sunday.
The Paraguayan midfielder, the last reinforcement of this semester, did not play on Sunday against Estudiantes due to presenting a discomfort in his right hamstring on Friday. Tomorrow it will also be important to see if Battaglia makes him a starter or a replacement for Molinas.
The other injured, Diego “El Pulpo” González, has already been ruled out and continues his recovery from a tear in the right hamstring, suffered on February 28.
Rojo did not participate in soccer practice today as a precaution against minor muscle discomfort. It is thought that tomorrow he could be without problems and if there is no news, he will be the one who shares behind with the Peruvian Carlos Zambrano
It would seem from this morning’s training that Cristian Medina will continue as a right-wing midfielder, some thought Colombian Jorman Campuzano would be in that position.
Finally, defender Carlos Izquierdoz was operated on last night by doctor Jorge Batista for a fracture at “the base of the fifth metatarsal of the left foot.”
The central defender had special imported nails inserted to hold the bones in his fingers and the estimated time for his rehabilitation is two to three months, which means that he will miss the rest of the Professional League Cup.
Izquierdoz was injured 22 minutes into the game at the UNO Stadium in La Plata, in Boca’s 1-0 victory over Estudiantes, and is taking complete rest in the first stage of his recovery.
The other novelty of “Mundo Boca” is that on Sunday the team will use the alternative yellow shirt that premiered in La Plata last weekend.
The last time that Boca wore a shirt different from the traditional one against River was in the friendly superclassic of the summer of 2010, when they beat “los Millonarios” by 3 to 1. On that occasion they wore a blue and yellow shirt with a horizontal stripe and vertical like the Swedish flag.
The squad will practice again tomorrow, from 9, at the Ezeiza venue, and perhaps Battaglia will give a press conference, since the reserve superclassic is played on Friday at the River Camp.
Boca’s squad will practice tomorrow and the day after in Ezeiza, from 9. and on Saturday they will do so in the Pedro Pompilio complex in Casa Amarilla and then stay focused.
What time do River-Boca play?
The Superclásico for date 7 of the League Cup will be played at the Monumental starting at 7:00 p.m. with arbitration by Darío Herrera.
