River lost three defenders due to injury and alarms went off at the Scaloni National Team concentration

The night in Vicente López left some worries in River beyond the poor performance of the team Marcelo Gallardo. The thing is three defenders left the Platense stadium injured and although the coaching staff believes that these are not serious situations, they will still closely monitor the evolution of each player.

Fabricio Bustos and the world champions Marcos Acuña y German Pezzella They could not finish the game due to different ailments. River’s full-backs left at halftime due to muscle discomfort. Bustos’ thing is in the right calfwhile heor Acuña, in the hamstring of the left leg. Meanwhile, What happened to Pezzella is a trauma under his right ear, which left him very painful and for which he will undergo medical tests..

The three footballers come from an important background. In the case of Bustos, he played nine of the ten games (he was only not against Gimnasia in La Plata) since he put on the red band. And he had played the three complete games of the week of the duels with Colo-Colo for the Libertadores and the Superclásico for the Professional League.

For his part, Acuña also had continuous action since he debuted against Newell’s at the end of August, although he played the last 19 minutes against Boca.

Meanwhile, Pezzella, like Bustos, also played every game since he arrived, except against Gimnasia. With Atlético Tucumán he had left due to a minor discomfort near the end of the game and with Boca he played only the second half.

The three are fundamental pieces of Marcelo Gallardo’s team. In fact, thanks to their arrivals, River became stronger defensively. And although they didn’t have the best game yesterday – like the entire team -, their absences were noticed after they came out. The thing is that the category is not bought. You win. And the track record of the three supports it. In fact, Pezzella and Acuña They received what they deserved from the Platense leadership. They were given plaques in recognition of the world championship with the National Team.

Precisely, both players must join the Argentine National Team for the matches against Venezuela and Bolivia. Will they be able to travel to Miami, where Lionel Scaloni’s team is based for Thursday’s duel against Venezuela for the South American Qualifiers?
