'Mechita' has reported on the physical condition of Cristian Barrios, Éder Álvarez Balanta, and Mateo Castillo ahead of the match against DIM in the BetPlay DIMAYOR League 2025-I.
América de Cali is preparing to experience a few high-voltage days with two "finals" in almost 48 hours: the duel against Independiente Medellín in the last round of the regular phase of the BetPlay 2025-I League and then as a host against Racing de Montevideo to close the group stage of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana.
In this context, 'Mechita' has published an official statement with a medical report on some important players for the team.
Cristian Barrios suffers from an "ankle sprain and fracture in the left fibula", so it is expected that he will be at least a month away from the fields due to these injuries suffered against Huracán in the continental competition.
Éder Álvarez Balanta, meanwhile, suffered a "muscle-tendon injury in the left hip" and, although he started jogging this Wednesday, there is no specific date for his return to activity.
On the other hand, Mateo Castillo has been medically cleared and "joined group training this Wednesday", so he will be available for 'Polilla' Da Silva when he deems it appropriate.
