⚠️ Bad news for River: Aníbal Moreno a doubt for trip to Gimnasia | OneFootball

The atmosphere at River Plate remains tense after the defeats against Aldosivi and Barracas Central. The team managed by Eduardo “Chacho” Coudet is looking to get back on track in its visit to Gimnasia in La Plata, but all signs suggest it will be without midfielder Aníbal Moreno.

Physical setback and few alternatives

The former Racing player suffered a minor recurrence of the discomfort in the medial collateral ligament of his right knee, an issue that prevented him from completing preseason. The coaching staff prefers not to take any risks with him, which exposes the worrying lack of options in central midfield.

Given this situation, Coudet only has Fausto Vera, academy player Lucas Silva, and Uruguayan Mauro Arambarri available, though the latter is still going through an adaptation period after failing to impress in his first appearances.

A similar starting eleven in search of a recovery

Despite the shortage of midfielders and the continued exclusion of players such as Kevin Castaño and Giuliano Galoppo, Coudet’s intention is to keep the defensive and midfield core intact. The main changes for this Wednesday’s match would come in attack, where Ángel Correa or Lucas Beltrán could replace Facundo Colidio.
