After several weeks of absence, Ariel Ortega will be considered to play against Godoy Cruz on Sunday. In yesterday’s team practice, Coach Leonardo Astrada saw him fit to participate with the team and Ariel may have a possible spot in the substitution line-up.
From the moment he decided to stop playing after the loss with Lanus, much was speculated about his future. Much was said about his condition, with various press releases indicating a possible retirement. Coach Astrada answered all questions when he reinstated Ariel back on the training grounds.
Yesterday’s scrimmage match between the starting line-up and the reserve players, Ariel outshined his companions and scored the decisive goal to give the reserve players the win. The love for Ariel continues to pour from every fan around the world and we wish him the best against Godoy Cruz.
