River suffer injury blow: key man out v Riestra, doubt for Racing | OneFootball

River has just been eliminated from the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Palmeiras, and now the team led by Marcelo Gallardo will try to recover from the blow against Deportivo Riestra in the Clausura Tournament and next week they will play the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina against Racing.

Without a doubt, the Millonario's year can be dynamited with the upcoming matches, as they have two of the three objectives that were planned for the second semester left. And facing what will be the start of a possible recovery, there will be a significant loss.

Enzo Pérez, who received seven stitches for the cut he suffered above his left knee, is ruled out to face Malevo. Although there is time left for the match against Racing, which will be played on Thursday, August 2 at the Gigante de Arroyito, he is currently in doubt. According to BOLAVIP, the Mendoza native would make it, but they will evaluate him day by day.

On the other hand, who is also in doubt for the two upcoming matches for the Millonario is Juan Portillo, as he maintains a strong pain due to the trauma in the iliac crest. They will observe him daily, and they will wait until the last moment to know if he will be able to play or if he will have to stay out of the coach's consideration.
