🏥Not as bad as feared: Driussi already has a medical update at River | OneFootball

The River Plate world received news this Monday that disrupts Marcelo Gallardo's tactical plans for the coming weeks. According to journalist Juan Cortese, forward Sebastián Driussi has suffered a muscle injury that will sideline him from official competition during a crucial stretch of the season, adding a new concern for the medical staff at the Núñez club.

The medical report and recovery timeline

After undergoing the corresponding tests, it was confirmed that the attacker has a grade 1 tear in his left hamstring. This physical setback comes at a time of high intensity in the calendar, forcing the player to take a break of approximately 20 days. During this period, Driussi will focus on physical therapy and progressive rehabilitation to avoid any kind of relapse that could compromise the rest of the semester.

The "Muñeco's" tactical puzzle

Driussi's absence is a significant blow to the "Millonario" attack, given his ability to combine with teammates and his quality in the box. Gallardo will now have to look for alternatives on the bench to support the starting forwards in the upcoming matches, which include key dates in the domestic league and preparation for international challenges. In this scenario, the coach will have to rely on the depth of his squad to maintain offensive power while awaiting the return of one of his most decisive players.
