The Academy arrives at the scene with the Scoundrels bearing heavy casualties yet determined to reach the three groups that pace their uneasy journey forward.
IT’S CALLED RACING
Since the latest player exodus, it has stopped being rare to spot a long roster of youth talent among those being summoned. This time 12 of the 22 youngsters complete the racingista selection, a testament to the club’s reliance on homegrown promise amid a season of upheaval. The squad knows well that injuries and fatigue will reshuffle plans, yet the drive to push through remains unbroken. The manager will not shy away from tough decisions; several veterans who trained alongside the squad are not included, signaling a recalibration rather than a retreat. Facundo Mura, Gabriel Rojas, Anibal Moreno, Maxi Romero, and Leonardo Sigali were left out by Fernando Gago this round. It is a blunt reminder that the road demands sacrifice, and the head coach expects the players to reflect on what lies ahead. Emiliano Vecchio and Emiliano Insua, for their part, are still outside the current selection, awaiting opportunities that match the team’s evolving needs. The return of a familiar name offers a steadier hand: Ivan Pillud, who resolved contract issues that had kept him on the edge, is back in consideration and will be evaluated alongside the others.

THE RACING TRAINING
With a sharp tally of injuries and a climate of intense secrecy around weekly sessions, the starting eleven remains an unknown entity. The defensive line is a puzzle, and from the outset, it is hard to assemble a traditional four-man backline. The candidates for the heart of the defense could be Avilés, Piovi, Quiros, and Galvan, forming a protective shield in front of the goal. Up front, the team will once again lack a clear reference point; the striker position is a contest, and Hauche could be the most likely candidate to anchor the attack as the sessions unfold. The coaching staff emphasizes discipline, fitness, and tactical adaptability, preparing every player to fill multiple roles as the season presses on. This approach reflects a broader strategy: maintain fluidity, cover gaps, and maximize the versatility of the squad as injuries and suspensions shape the lineup week by week.
