River Plate is playing for a spot in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup this Wednesday against Inter Milan at Lumen Field in Seattle. The 'Millonario' faces a very demanding match and will tackle it with the inclusion of Colombian Miguel Borja in the starting lineup.

After Sebastián Driussi's serious injury in the debut against Urawa Red Diamonds, Marcelo Gallardo chose to place Facundo Colidio at the center of the attack against Monterrey. However, against Inter, it is Borja who will be the reference in the offense.

Additionally, Gallardo will have to make three mandatory changes: Enzo Pérez, Kevin Castaño, and Giuliano Galoppo will not be able to play due to suspension.

In this scenario, the 'Muñeco' would bet on Maximiliano Meza, Matías Kranevitter, and Rodrigo Aliendro (or perhaps Santiago Simón), but journalist Germán Balcarce confirms Miguel Borja as a starter.

Thus, the initial lineup for River Plate to face Inter in Seattle would be: Franco Armani; Gonzalo Montiel, Lucas Martínez Quarta, Paulo Díaz, Marcos Acuña; Matías Kranevitter, Maximiliano Meza, Rodrigo Aliendro or Santiago Simón; Franco Mastantuono, Facundo Colidio, and Miguel Borja.
