🚨No Armani: here’s River’s squad to face Gimnasia | OneFootball

River Plate and Gimnasia LP face each other this Wednesday at 8:00 PM at the Estadio Monumental for the second round of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. After a victorious debut against Barracas Central, Marcelo Gallardo’s team looks to confirm their football improvement against a “Lobo” side that arrives in high spirits after defeating Racing.

The big question mark in Núñez remains the goalkeeper position. Due to Franco Armani’s inflamed heel, the young Santiago Beltrán will stay between the posts. In defense, Matías Viña will continue as left back, as Marcos Acuña will be rested. The midfield will be led by the balance of Aníbal Moreno and Fausto Vera, while in attack, Sebastián Driussi and Facundo Colidio will be the main goal threats.

The match will have a special emotional charge: the return of Nacho Fernández to the Monumental, this time as captain and leader of Gimnasia. Zarinatto’s team arrives consolidated, with the only doubt being whether to keep Silva Torrejón or include the young Gelsomino.
