⚠️Vojvoda seeks defensive fixes at Racing amid injury crisis | OneFootball

Recent injuries have affected coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s plans ahead of Racing’s crucial clash against Sarmiento de Junín. With Juan Barinaga already ruled out due to a muscle injury, the right flank has become the main headache for the coaching staff.

Options at right-back

Ezequiel Cannavo has emerged as the leading option, although muscle fatigue in his adductor means his progress will have to be monitored until Friday. If they decide not to take the risk, Nazareno Colombo could return to the squad to fill that role.

Possible tactical reshuffle

Matías Pérez’s absence due to an ankle sprain also limits the options at the back. Given the urgency of the situation, Vojvoda is considering changing the tactical setup and deploying a back three made up of Mateo Martínez, Marcos Rojo and Gonzalo Escudero to cover the shortcomings in defense.
