“El Burrito” Ortega missed the first practice of the week at River, after yesterday’s 1-1 draw in La Plata, and phoned Luis Seveso, medic of the squad. La Página Millonaria could find out that it was because of conjunctivitis in his left eye. Ortega had not even gone to the bench since that episode before the match against Rosario Central.
Ariel Ortega told Seveso he was not going to the training with the rest of his teammates, who began to prepare for the derby against San Lorenzo on Thursday, for the seventh game of the Torneo Clausura. The River’s doctor went Ortega’s home, examined him and confirmed the reasons of his absence, according to sources close to him RiverPlate.com. Moreover, it isn’t probable that Ortega will attend tomorrow’s training.
Leonardo Astrada had decided not to call him since his last relapse after the game against Rosario Central, but he also said that Ortega was one more of the squad and depended on him his returning to the trainings. We will se if Ortega could be in the list of concentrates for the derby against San Lorenzo.
