Eduardo Coudet's River selection dilemmas for the clash with Racing

El Millonario faces an extremely tough week, and Chacho is thinking about rotating the squad and giving minutes to players who do not usually start.

After returning with a disappointing draw from Bolivia, River is getting ready to visit Racing at the Cilindro this Sunday, in a clásico that will kick off a hectic week in which El Millonario will also have to face Carabobo and Boca.

Although there are still two days left before the match, Eduardo Coudet did not give too many clues about the names he will field in Avellaneda, other than hinting that he will make some changes for the game: “I think there will be rotation”.

It is very likely that the starting eleven will include players who have not been part of the usual first team lately. Kendry Páez, Juan Fernando Quintero or even Joaquín Freitas could make up the attack for the Núñez side, while Kevin Castaño would come in for one of the central midfielders.

On the other hand, Marcos Acuña is already in condition to return after serving his suspension and could do so against his former club in place of Matías Viña, who replaced him in the last two matches. The one who will be unavailable is Lautaro Rivero, who picked up a yellow card against Belgrano with the intention of clearing it ahead of the Superclásico.

One candidate to be rested at the Presidente Perón Stadium is Sebastián Driussi, who had to come off at halftime against Blooming because of ankle discomfort.

In addition, the first-choice midfield, made up of Aníbal Moreno, Fausto Vera, and Tomás Galván, will be assessed to determine whether it should be preserved for the next match, while Lucas Martínez Quarta will probably start since he did not accumulate much fatigue due to his early sending-off.
