Racing face Gimnasia in friendly, Arias goalkeeper debate returns | OneFootball

Racing will play a friendly match this Friday at 10 a.m. against Gimnasia, at the Cilindro, with the aim of giving playing time to those players who haven’t had many minutes on the field. Gustavo Costas’ idea is to take advantage of this football-free weekend to level the squad and ensure everyone is in the best possible shape.

Among the players expected to feature against the Lobo are Facundo Cambeses, Agustín García Basso, Marcos Rojo, Richard Sánchez, Luciano Vietto, Matías Zaracho, Tomas Conechny, and Elías Torres. In addition, the head coach would also include some of the regular starters who are in perfect condition.

Racing’s next fixture will be against San Lorenzo, on Friday, September 12 at 7 p.m., for the eighth round of the Torneo Clausura in the Professional League. It is likely that Costas will rest several of his key players for the clash with Vélez, the following Tuesday at 7 p.m., in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals.

Among the changes the coach could make is in goal: Cambeses has a chance to take Gabriel Arias’ place. In fact, this Wednesday, the coach himself answered a brief “we’ll see” when asked about the goalkeeper, leaving the question open.

The uncertainty in goal is not just another issue for the Racing team, after rumors emerged in recent weeks about a rift between Costas and the captain following his substitution in the final minutes of the match against Peñarol so the backup could handle the penalties. The club even made a humorous post with both of them to deny the rumors.
