River’s absent in the preseason in Orlando
With several absent on the trip to the United States for representing their countries in the America Cup, Gallardo will begin to outline a team, since if the teams advance to the semifinals he knows that it will be almost impossible to count on the players for the first leg against Bicho. The first confrontation against Gabriel Milito’s team is the Wednesday July 14 and the third place and the final of the Copa América are 9 and 10.
River players who are not in the preseason are: Nicolas de la Cruz (Uruguay), David Martínez and Robert Rojas (Paraguay), and Franco Armani, Gonzalo Montiel and Julián Álvarez (Argentina). In addition to the still unknown future of Rafael Santos Borré, who is with Colombia, but from this Thursday he becomes a free player. The coach will analyze how each one returns, but initially they would be the goalkeeper and the full back of Scaloni’s team are the ones with the best chances of getting into the starting eleven cup despite the tight schedule.
