River’s injury list and who might be fit to face Gimnasia | OneFootball

After the 1-0 victory against Barracas Central as visitors, River is already preparing for the match this Wednesday at 8 PM, when they will host Gimnasia at the Monumental, and coach Marcelo Gallardo is awaiting the return of the injured players.

The one most likely to return to the starting lineup is goalkeeper Franco Armani, who has recovered from a calf strain. The Octopus could have played against the Guapo, but the coaching staff chose to leave him off the bench to avoid risking him and ensure he is ready for the clash with the Lobo.

Meanwhile, midfielder Kevin Castaño missed the match against Barracas due to a case of gastroenteritis, so he would be available to Gallardo this Wednesday, although it is not known what position he will occupy.

In his absence, the Doll opted to include Tomás Galván in the midfield alongside Fausto Vera and Aníbal Moreno. In the second half, Giuliano Galoppo replaced the former Vélez player, so it is unclear if the Colombian will start.

The last of the injured is Marcos Acuña, whose position was covered by the new signing Matías Viña, who performed well. The Egg missed the entire preseason due to a stomp suffered against Racing on November 24 of last year. With kinesiology exercises and fieldwork, but without pressure, he did a particular setup that now finds him without physical or football rhythm.

The world champion did not participate in any formal exercises and missed the two summer friendlies, against Millonarios and Manya, in addition to not being present against Barracas. His presence against Gimnasia is also at risk, and it is most likely that he will rest.
