Borja He returned to carrying out very light kinesthetic and aerobic tasks on the field and keeps intact the chances of being tested on Saturday to see if he arrives in suitable conditions to be part of the match that will be played on Sunday at 5 p.m.

The two players, Borja and Kranevitterare the key names of the week of the superclásico for the team, which has several unknowns after the poor performances in the previous dates against “Decano” (0-0) and against “Taladro” (1-1) .

Besides, Manuel Lanzini He is working almost at the same time as the rest and these days they are going to give him the medical discharge for the tear in his right hamstring in the friendly against Pachuca on January 20, although it is still in doubt to enter the list of concentrates.
