River Plate held another pre-season activity this Monday in San Martín de los Andes, marked by the presence of Matías Viña. The Uruguayan full-back trained for the first time with the squad while awaiting official confirmation as a reinforcement for the club. There are still bureaucratic details to be finalized before his announcement to the Argentine team.

Viña donned the River uniform and began working under a loan contract until the end of the year, with a purchase clause conditioned on meeting certain goals. The activity was special as it was the first open training session to the public in 2026.

In addition to the Uruguayan, Fausto Vera (formerly of Corinthians and Atlético-MG) and Aníbal Moreno (formerly of Palmeiras), also newly signed, participated, along with players returning from loan, such as Ezequiel Centurión and Tomás Galván.

With the absence of Franco Armani, who is injured, and Centurión still recovering, young players Santiago Beltrán and Franco Jaroszewicz took over the goalkeeper position. In the medical department, Marcos Acuña trained separately due to a trauma to his left foot.
