Gimnasia squad end strike, back in training with eyes on Estudiantes | OneFootball

The team lifted the strike after a tense Thursday. Meeting with Anacleto in Abasto and everything cleared up so that Zaniratto and his team can focus on Estudiantes.

Gimnasia left behind the professional team's strike and returns to the Estancia Chica facility to prepare for a very special match. Fernando Zaniratto's team will host Estudiantes on Monday at 5 PM at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo stadium for one of the semifinals of the Torneo Clausura, aiming to take one more step towards the grand title match.

After a complex Thursday morning, during which the entire group took to their social networks to support the decision made due to the lack of payment by the outgoing board, an agreement was reached in the afternoon, and the measure began to be left behind.

This was confirmed after a final meeting minutes ago between Carlos Anacleto and the players in Abasto, prior to practice. The new management assured that by the afternoon, payments would be fully up to date through September. Thus, the team is working at Estancia, where they will have two more practices before the clash with Pincha.

In this regard, Zaniratto and his collaborators need to decide on a starting 11, which doesn't seem to present many doubts beyond what happens with Jeremías Merlo, who left the match against Barracas Central with a severe hamstring strain. The good news for the Saladillo native is that Alejandro Piedrahita, a regular starter, is ready to return after missing the visit to Guapo.

Thus, it is practically certain that Lobo will return to what has been Lucho's starting team during this great cycle. That is, Nelson Insfrán; Juan Pitando, Renzo Giampaoli, Enzo Martínez, and Pedro Silva Torrejón; Nicolás Barros Schelotto and Augusto Max; Manuel Panaro, Bautista Merlini, Piedrahita or Merlo; and Marcelo Torres.

Lobo is playing for nothing less than the chance to make it to a final and achieve this against their lifelong rival in front of their fans. A huge reward for a team that, until weeks ago, had as its main goal to remain in the top tier of Argentine football. The Tripero has been exceeding expectations and is one step away from the grand finale.
