Aníbal Moreno out again for River, no return date set | OneFootball

Aníbal Moreno will miss River’s match at Atlético Tucumán on Saturday. The midfielder has a lumbar disc issue and there is no set return date.

According to SuperDepor.com, this will be his third game out after Banfield and Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza. He was diagnosed this morning with lumbar discopathy.

Moreno’s last appearance for River was on 26 August, a penalty shootout elimination to Independiente Santa Fe in the Copa Sudamericana.

The injury is linked to wear or degeneration of the intervertebral discs in the lower back. Treatment will involve physiotherapy and progressive rehabilitation, with his response assessed as demands increase.

Saturday’s fixture kicks off at 17:30 at the Monumental José Fierro. Leonardo Ponzio is set to keep faith with Fausto Vera in the holding role and is likely to repeat his previous 11. River are expected to line up with Santiago Beltrán, Gonzalo Montiel, Lucas Martínez Quarta, Nicolás Otamendi, Marcos Acuña, Fausto Vera, Tomás Galván, Tobías Andrada, Thiago Almada, Ángel Correa and Sebastián Driussi.
