Dadín and De la Cuesta back in River’s squad again | OneFootball

After deciding to gather all the squad members beforehand, Marcelo Gallardo will once again include Bautista Dadín and Agustín de la Cuesta in the call-up for the crucial match against Racing for the Argentina Cup. The youngsters had already been on the bench in the defeat against Riestra, but they did not get any playing time.

In a year of major squad changes, the youngsters began to gain ground. To Lautaro Rivero's starting position, the minutes that Santiago Lencina has won, the appearances of Ian Subiabre (today in the U-20 World Cup after signing the contract renewal) are now added to these presences facing a match that will mark the fate of the Millonario for the year.

De la Cuesta made his debut in the First Division in River's visit to Atlético Tucumán, a match in which he started and was replaced 17 minutes into the second half. With a correct performance, the 19-year-old left-footer is back on a list in the absence of Enzo Pérez, who was injured against Palmeiras.

Dadín, meanwhile, debuted from the start in the victory against Godoy Cruz and then added minutes from the bench against San Martín (SJ) and Atlético Tucumán. His presence also responds to the injury of a starter: in this case, the tear of Sebastián Driussi, who remains out of the team since the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

However, both youngsters would start from the bench. Only Rivero has a secured place, while Lencina is an alternative in the middle, although somewhat relegated. The presence of youngsters in the call-ups is something that Muñeco wants to consolidate for the rest of the year.
