River get Pezzella back: trained with the squad, aiming for a quick return | OneFootball

The defender has moved past the recovery from the ligament tear and could reappear in the coming weeks. The club is planning for him to play in the Copa Sudamericana.

Germán Pezzella has returned to training alongside the River squad and is on the verge of his comeback to the field. After seven months of recovery from the anterior cruciate ligament tear in his left knee, the defender completed the practice without any issues.

The coaching staff, led by Eduardo Coudet, is now focusing on getting him back in rhythm during upcoming training sessions. The idea is for him to be included in a squad list in the short term. They are projecting his return for the start of the Copa Sudamericana, in the week of April 7. Initially, he would start as an alternative and gradually gain more playing time.

Meanwhile, the team continues to have Martínez Quarta and Rivero as the starting central defenders, with Paulo Díaz as the first option off the bench.
