Two novelties of relevance in River. On the one hand, The Specialized Prosecutor for Massive Events of the City of Buenos Aires extended this Monday for 24 hours the closure of the Sívori tribune of the Monumental to continue with the investigation of the case of the fan who died last Saturdaypending the results of the toxicological examination of the victim.
For another, the defender Enzo Díaz trained in a differentiated way at the River Camp in Ezeiza and this way its presence is complicated the match next wednesday from local against Fluminense from Brazil, for date 5 of the Libertadores Cup. Other players who trained differently were Bruno Zuculini, David Martínez, Elías López and Tomás Lecanda.
The former Talleres de Córdoba suffered a sprained right knee on May 25when River drew 1-1 with Sporting Cristal from Peru, in Lima, for Group D of the maximum continental competition.
The defender’s injury led to the change of band for Milton Casco and the entry of Andrés Herrera in his place. Last Saturday, in the suspended match against Defense and Justice due to the death of the fan, Elías Gómez played for Casco and Herrera maintained his position, with a view to the match against the Brazilian team.
The correct news for Coach Martin Demichelis is that the central ones Emanuel Mammana and Paulo Díaz worked alongside their colleagues one more time and they will fight for a position in the starting team in a momentous match for the aspirations of the Núñez club in the Copa Libertadores.
Demichelis will not have the mendoza Enzo Perez, who beyond the synovitis that he suffers in the left knee, must meet a suspension date.
“It will be decisive,” said Cano
The Argentine striker from Fluminense, Germán Cano, considered “decisive” the match next Wednesday at the Más Monumental.
“Be decisive, different from that of the Maracana, and very intensebecause River plays at home and Hopefully we’re up to it”Cano told DSports, and added: “We have come very well. We have raised the level beyond the results. The defeat against Botafogo helped us to correct mistakes. It was important to beat Bragantino. I would love to score a goal on the River field. You don’t always play a game like this; It would be a dream,” said the former Lanús.
Finally, Cano said that for Fluminense it will be essential “not to receive goals” at the Monumental: “River has the obligation to go out and look for the game and he will have his own weapons. It won’t be easy, it’s a consolidated team, but I think it will be an even game. We have to attack fast.”
Fluminense is the leader of Group D, with 9 pointswhile River is last with 4 and suffered a win historical 5-1 In janeiro river, with three goals from Cano.
