Álvaro Montero to miss Central Córdoba match after family bereavement | OneFootball

According to LaNumer12.com.ar, Álvaro Montero will miss the Central Córdoba match in the ninth round of the Torneo Clausura after being allowed to travel to Colombia following the death of his grandmother. The news arrived in the build-up to the meeting with San Pablo.

He is due to return to Argentina over the weekend, and the board and coaching staff have agreed to prioritise his rest and family time. Preparations for Friday’s fixture have been adjusted accordingly.

With the Colombian absent, Leandro Brey will start at La Bombonera. The young goalkeeper has impressed when called upon and now faces a demanding test to keep the defence steady.

Managing workloads is also a priority at this decisive stage of the semester. Rodolfo Arruabarrena will rotate heavily given the schedule of triple competition, seeking extra freshness and tempo.

Among squad updates, Camilo Rey Domenech has sustained a muscle injury that rules him out of this match. He had been in strong contention to start as a support in the build-up play, so midfield options will be reshaped.

The likely XI could feature Brey in goal, Gorosito, Figal, Pellegrino and Satas or Blanco in defence, Alarcón, Belmonte and Palacios in midfield, Velasco as creator, with Valencia and Villa up front.

The match is set for Friday 11 September at 21:30 at the Estadio Alberto J. Armando. Yael Falcón Pérez will referee, assisted by Yamil Possi from the technology booth, and ESPN Premium will broadcast the game. The hosts will look to harness home support to claim three points and stay in the title race.
