One midfield doubt, Coudet picks River XI for Apertura final vs Belgrano | OneFootball

The Millionaire will face the Pirate next Sunday starting at 3:30 p.m., and Chacho is waiting on Aníbal Moreno.

River and Belgrano dream of winning the 2026 Apertura Tournament. Next Sunday, they will face off in the grand final at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium starting at 3:30 p.m. For this match, Eduardo Coudet has only one doubt in midfield, and for that, it will be crucial to know whether Aníbal Moreno will be available or not, although everything indicates that he will not make it.

The central midfielder suffered a knee sprain last Saturday against Rosario Central. Although it seemed his presence was almost ruled out, the former Palmeiras player asked to play, though it remains to be seen how he progresses in the coming days. This Friday, the Millionaire’s squad trained, and Moreno did not train alongside his teammates.

Coudet’s doubt

If Coudet sees that Aníbal Moreno responds well, he will start, knowing there is a risk that he may only last a few minutes on the pitch and then have to be replaced. If he does not make it, Chacho is considering starting Lucas Silva as a central midfielder alongside Fausto Vera, although there is also the possibility of changing the formation and bringing Juanfer Quintero into the starting eleven. If the Colombian starts, Vera will be the only central midfielder, although that is the least likely option.
