Coach Jorge Almironwho can always change the formation before the games, will lean towards a mix to face “Pincha”, with the presence of many starters and with the inclusion of the youth players Vicente Taborda and Luca Langoni, and the Paraguayan Bruno Valdez in the defense, since he has his chances in the Cup if Nicolás Valentini does not arrive.
The 21-year-old left-handed central marker, a natural replacement for captain Marcos Rojo, who is suspended and will not play against “Flu”, worked in the gym in recent days to recover from trauma to his left leg, due to a blow that Colombian Roger Martínez applied it last Tuesday in the 2-1 defeat against Racing.
