Today, River will be expecting Rosario Central at the Monumental Stadium with a very important absence: Astrada decided not to include Ortega between the eighteen, and in his place it will be Daniel “Keko” Villalva. But, fortunately, Alexis Ferrero and Juan Manuel Diaz came back after a date of suspension.
Again, our everlasting Ariel “Burrito” Ortega, plunged into an alcoholic setback. He was supposed to present himself and gather around with all the players at the Monumental last Thursday at 23:30, but it wasn’t until Saturday’s morning that he appeared at the concentration.
Although, from 19:10 and against a weak and needed Rosario Central, River will have to give a 110% to prove he is actually ready to sum up another three points and place him between the top positions.
Let see River’s starting lineup: Vega; Ferrari, Alexis Ferrero, Facundo Quiroga and Juan Manuel Díaz; Diego Barrado, Almeyda and Abelairas; Rojas, Villalva and Funes Mori. And in the bench: Juan Marcelo Ojeda, Nicolás Sánchez, Cristian Villagra, Fabio Giménez, Marcelo Gallardo, Gustavo Bou and Gustavo Canales.
Rosario’s lineup will be: Galíndez; Chitzoff, Valentini, Guillermo Burdisso and Ambrosi; Jonatan Gómez, Astudillo, Paglialunga and Gervasio Núñez; Zelaya and Adrián De León. In the bench: Bava, Alexis Danelón, Bogino, Lucas Moya, Darío Ocampo, Leandro Gurrieri y Milton Caraglio.
