Injuries to Marcos Rojo and Luciano Vietto at Racing confirmed | OneFootball

The narrow victory against Defensa y Justicia at El Cilindro left Racing on the verge of qualifying for the round of 16 of the Torneo Clausura and with the hope of entering the 2026 Copa Libertadores. The Academy, which will conclude its participation in Zone A this Sunday at 8:15 PM against Newell’s in Rosario, already knows the extent of the injuries to Marcos Rojo and Luciano Vietto.

Both the central defender and the forward had to be replaced at halftime against the Halcón, and at the start of the week, the corresponding studies were conducted, which determined tears in the left and right soleus, respectively. The recovery time is still unknown, but it is certain that they will not be available to Gustavo Costas against La Lepra.

On the other hand, Juan Ignacio Nardoni, who is dealing with physical discomfort, trained separately, as did Matías Zaracho, who was injured during his entry against Flamengo in the return leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinal.

The new absences Racing faces ahead of Newell’s have a positive counterpoint: Gabriel Rojas and Tomás Conechny have overcome their respective injuries and will almost certainly return to the field this Sunday against La Lepra. Additionally, Santiago Sosa, who underwent surgery for a maxillary fracture, has rejoined training and started a reconditioning program under the guidance of the physical trainers.
