Midfield doubt as Coudet picks River XI for Apertura final v Belgrano | OneFootball

El Millonario will face the Pirate next Sunday starting at 3:30 p.m., and Chacho is waiting on Aníbal Moreno.

River and Belgrano are dreaming of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. Next Sunday they will meet in the grand final at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium starting at 3:30 p.m. For this match, Eduardo Coudet has only one doubt in midfield, and for that, it will be key to know whether Aníbal Moreno will be available or not, although everything indicates he will not make it.

The central midfielder suffered a knee sprain last Saturday against Rosario Central. Although his presence seemed almost ruled out, the former Palmeiras player asked to play, though it remains to be seen how he progresses in the coming days. This Friday, the Millonario squad trained, and Moreno did not train alongside his teammates.

Coudet’s doubt

If Coudet sees that Aníbal Moreno responds well, he will start, knowing there is a risk he may only last a few minutes on the field and have to be substituted. If he does not recover in time, Chacho is considering using Lucas Silva as a central midfielder alongside Fausto Vera, although there is also the possibility of changing the formation and bringing Juanfer Quintero into the starting eleven. If the Colombian starts, Vera will be the only central midfielder, although this is the least likely option.
