Everton Cebolinha is out of the match against Racing. The forward is recovering from a hip injury and remains under the care of the Medical Department.
In addition, Guillermo Varela will play while on a yellow card warning, with two yellow cards. If he receives a third, the right-back will be suspended and will miss the return leg in Argentina.
