Thursday fixtures suspended by CGT general strike, Lanús v Flamengo decision pending | OneFootball

Thursday's football programme will be disrupted by the CGT general strike, prompting the suspension of that day's fixtures.

According to SuperDepor.com, four Torneo Apertura matches had been scheduled alongside Lanús v Flamengo in the Recopa Sudamericana first leg.

The Unión de Trabajadores de Entidades Deportivas y Civiles, Utedyc, has joined the action, so clubs are weighing postponing all Thursday commitments.

As part of matchday six of the Torneo Apertura, Defensa y Justicia were due to host Belgrano de Córdoba at 17:15. At the same time, San Lorenzo were to face Estudiantes de Río Cuarto at the Nuevo Gasómetro.

Two further games were set for 19:30, Independiente Rivadavia v Independiente, and Instituto de Córdoba v Atlético Tucumán.

Lanús were also scheduled to host Flamengo in the Recopa Sudamericana first leg. In this case the suspension has not yet been officially confirmed, as Conmebol usually prioritises staging its tournaments and is evaluating organisational alternatives.

No new dates have been announced for the affected fixtures.
