“Yesterday I went through a difficult moment, but thank God the tests brought peace of mind. Now it’s time to focus on recovery, work as hard as possible, and come back stronger to keep giving everything for this shirt,” the striker wrote on his Instagram account alongside an image of the moment he suffered the injury against Rosario Central.

“Proud of my teammates for the effort and for reaching the final. I’ll be supporting and pushing from wherever I can,” Driussi added in the same message. He also ended the post by thanking everyone for the affection he received after the injury: “Thanks to everyone for the messages and support.”

Medical tests confirmed that River’s top scorer suffered a Grade 2 sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee. As a result, he has been ruled out of the Torneo Apertura final and the team’s upcoming matches. It is also worth remembering that, besides Driussi, Gonzalo Montiel suffered a muscle tear and Aníbal Moreno sustained another knee sprain.

The sequence that forced the forward off the pitch came in the 11th minute of the first half, when Franco Ibarra challenged him near the box and caused a severe twist in his right knee. Driussi immediately fell to the turf in obvious pain and ended up leaving on a stretcher and in tears, creating a huge sense of concern both on and off the field.
