This is a very special issue. It was expected that he would already be racing at this time. But I don’t know what will happen.

I would love him to be there, but I can’t say more because it has more to do with the doctors,” explains the coach.
starting from eleven

Febas, the undisputed helm of the Franjiverde ship, will play in the middle of the field, probably alongside Nico Castro.
