The latest on Driussi that impacts River | OneFootball

Relief for Eduardo Coudet ahead of a key week. Sebastián Driussi has been medically cleared and returned to training alongside his teammates in Friday’s practice, two days before the match against Vélez at the Monumental. The forward is an important piece for the coach, and his recovery is good news for a team that needs answers in attack.

So far, Driussi is River’s top scorer this season, with seven goals. His return also comes at a particular moment, with a team that has been struggling to find the net and forwards who have not been scoring regularly. That is why the striker’s return could become a major option for Coudet looking ahead.

The forward has not been able to play a single match this semester. He was injured before the match against Aldosivi in the Copa Argentina, and since then he had been doing separate training to recover from the issue. Now, with medical clearance, he has taken an important step toward being available again and getting minutes.

Driussi’s recovery adds to the good news for Coudet, although there is still one important player left to recover: Gonzalo Montiel. The full-back is still working on getting back to full fitness and is the only key player who remains unavailable to the coach due to injury.

The big question now is what decision Coudet will make. River’s scoring situation could lead him to speed up his return and give him some minutes against Vélez, especially considering the team’s need for players capable of making the difference in the final third.

However, there is also another possibility: that the coach decides to protect the forward and save him for the second leg at the Monumental, where River could need a more attacking approach and greater presence up front. In that scenario, the strike partnership could be made up of Lucas Beltrán and Rafael Borré.
