El Millonario prepares to receive the Globe, in a match that could qualify him for the quarter-finals.
The crisis he experienced at the beginning of the second semester, after the elimination of the Copa Libertadores and Argentina, seems to be a thing of the past for River. With seven wins in the last nine matches, the Millionaires settled at the top of Zone A of the Professional League Cup and were one step away from qualifying for the quarter-finals, which could be secured on the same date.
For the 12th round, Núñez’s team will host the third place in the group, Huracán, and with a win they will not only extend their historic streak of consecutive wins at home to 21, but also guarantee their place in the second stage of the competition.
The match will be played this Friday, November 3 from 9 p.m. in the Monumental.
The river is called
The week before the match against Globo started with very good news for Martín Demichelis: Nicolás De la Cruz cooperated with the group in training on Monday and showed no signs of the inflammation in the left Achilles tendon, which meant he was left out. games.
In this way, the Uruguayan will be available again, although the medical team is waiting to see how the situation will develop in the next 24 hours: the team has Tuesday off and it will be crucial whether he can return to work on Wednesday. without any problems.
As for the rest, everyone is available and it will be necessary to see if the coach decides to concentrate Sebastián Boselli, the only one of the reinforcements who arrived in the last market and was not even considered to go to the substitute bench .
THE FORMATION OF RIVER
When everything seemed to indicate that Micho would repeat the team that defeated Independiente against Gimnasia, the coach decided at the last minute to use Enzo Díaz instead of Milton Casco. This way, although there is nothing to suggest that changes could happen (other than the possible return of De la Cruz for Rodrigo Aliendro), only the coach knows which team he plans to use.
