Driussi injury confirmed after early sub vs Independiente Rivadavia | OneFootball

River was eliminated from the Copa Argentina by Independiente Rivadavia, who defeated them through penalties after the regular time ended in a goalless draw. But beyond the pain of the defeat in Córdoba, there was a warning sign for Marcelo Gallardo, who had to replace Sebastián Driussi due to a new physical complication.

It was 36 minutes into the first half when the Gordo requested a substitution, and Facundo Colidio came in his place. A muscular discomfort prevented the former Zenit Saint Petersburg and Austin FC player from continuing on the field. And as hours passed, it was revealed what happened.

According to reports from La Página Millonaria, Driussi experienced an overload in the hamstring of his left leg, the same area where he suffered his last tear against Palmeiras at the Monumental. Although he had played minutes against Sarmiento and Talleres, this Friday he relapsed.

For now, River has not confirmed the recovery time for the 29-year-old forward born in San Justo, but they will monitor him during the week to determine if he can be present next Sunday, November 2, against Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata.

Despite having played 32 matches (10 goals) since his return, there is significant concern at Millonario about the large number of injuries suffered by Driussi, who has already missed 19 appearances due to various physical complications he endured during the year, with the most serious being the ankle sprain he suffered during the Club World Cup.
