❌Just ONE match: Cambeses out against Caracas | OneFootball

Racing Club’s coaching staff will have to make changes to the team ahead of their next international fixture. CONMEBOL confirmed that goalkeeper Facundo Cambeses has been handed a one-match suspension after being shown a red card in the last game against Botafogo, altering La Academia’s plans for the Copa Sudamericana.

Forced absence in Venezuela

Because of this suspension, the La Plata-born goalkeeper will not be able to join the squad traveling to face Caracas FC in the fifth matchday of the continental competition. This absence will force the coach to trust Racing’s goal to his backup keeper in a key match for maintaining their hopes of finishing top of the group.

Return assured for the group-stage finale

The good news for the Avellaneda side is that the punishment is limited to just one match. As a result, Cambeses will be fully eligible to return to the starting lineup in the final round of the group stage, when Racing host Independiente Petrolero at El Cilindro, looking to seal direct qualification for the round of 16.
