Driussi, no messing about: stars exit, remark rocks dressing room | OneFootball

River is going through a period of deep renewal, and Sebastián Driussi made it clear. The forward acknowledged that the departure of several historic leaders from the squad was a major impact behind closed doors and marked a before and after at the start of 2026 for the Millonario.

“It was a very hard blow because of the careers those players had at the club,” he said, referring to the departures of Enzo Pérez, Milton Casco, Ignacio Fernández, and Gonzalo Martínez. Even so, he emphasized that the team still has important leaders and trusts the process being built with the new group.

Driussi also spoke about his personal situation and appreciated the preseason after a 2025 marked by injuries. He said he feels good physically and highlighted the importance of training alongside the squad again to be in the best possible shape for the start of the tournament.

Finally, the forward addressed the international challenge River will face in the Copa Sudamericana and made a clear comparison: for him, the level of demand is the same as in the Libertadores. “The Sudamericana is almost the same,” he stated, making it clear that the goal will be to compete at the highest level on every front.
