Colidio returns, Moreno debut possible: River’s XI in Uruguay | OneFootball

River will close its preseason this Saturday against Peñarol, at the Maldonado Campus, in what will be the last friendly match before the official debut in the Torneo Apertura against Barracas on January 24. Marcelo Gallardo is preparing a team very similar to the one used against Millonarios, with some new developments.

In defense, Matías Viña could take the left-back position while Marcos Acuña recovers. The midfield might see the addition of Aníbal Moreno as the starting central midfielder, accompanied by Fausto Vera and Kevin Castaño, Giuliano Galoppo, or Santiago Lencina. Up front, Facundo Colidio returns after overcoming a flu and would play on the left wing alongside Sebastián Driussi, who would remain as the center forward.

The probable lineup for River to face Peñarol would be: Santiago Beltrán; Gonzalo Montiel, Lucas Martínez Quarta, Lautaro Rivero, Matías Viña; Kevin Castaño or Fausto Vera, Aníbal Moreno, Giuliano Galoppo; Juan Fernando Quintero Paniagua; Facundo Colidio and Sebastián Driussi. The match will be played from 22:15 at the Maldonado Campus stadium and will be broadcast on Disney+.
