💪Racing get two key players back for the run-in | OneFootball

After the tough elimination in the Copa Libertadores semifinals, Racing Club is focusing all its efforts on securing a spot in the playoffs of the Clausura Tournament and qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana. Coach Gustavo Costas received excellent news ahead of the crucial match this Saturday against Defensa y Justicia: Marcos Rojo and Adrián Maravilla Martínez are already training alongside their teammates.

Both the defender and the forward had been given a rest in the last 0-0 draw against Central Córdoba (SdE), but they have rejoined regular training with the squad. Their return provides Costas with more offensive and defensive options to face the decisive final stretch of the season.

The Uncertainty of Gabriel Rojas

While celebrating these recoveries, the coaching staff remains uncertain about the situation of Gabriel Rojas. The left-back, who suffered a tear, was absent against Central Córdoba. Although the player has expressed his intention to play against Defensa y Justicia, the medical staff will have the final say on his availability.

Meanwhile, the Racing management continues to work on reducing the sanction imposed by Aprevide, which closed the Cilindro for three matches. The club will appeal the decision today with the aim of achieving a limited capacity for Saturday's match and ensuring the support of their fans in the tournament's conclusion.
