Think, Marcelo gallardo. Evaluate options and draw conclusions. Repeat, coach River, that mental exercise that will allow you to determine what the alignment will be to receive Arsenal. Contemplating, of course, not only the loss with a confirmed diagnosis of David Martínez but also the possibility of filming Matías Suárez again as a starter.
And is that Gallardo understands the need to bring the 33-year-old from Cordoba, recently recovered from a synovitis in the right knee (he was discharged last Monday) little by little, although he also knows the specific weight of his talent for the team. That is why he continues to meditate if he includes him as a starter, or if he just gives him minutes in the second half.

Now: if you decide to add him to the lineup, Gallardo must decide who will lose their place in River. And there the range of options is wide. You can choose, for example, to take out Carrascal. A footballer who seems to have found a balance in his level and who comes from contributing two goals and an assist to the team in the last three games.
However, although the Colombian is the one who received the most votes in Olé’s survey to determine who should come out for Suárez, there are also other replacement variables: Braian Romero, scorer of the semester along with Julián Álvarez and Nicolás de la Cruz, or Bruno Zuculini.
The option RomeroGiven the exceptional moment that Julián Álvarez is going through – a midfielder who can float and play like a kind of false 9 – it would not be far-fetched. Although ZuculiniMeanwhile, it could function as a replacement since De La Cruz also knew how to support Enzo Pérez when necessary.
In addition, Gallardo He also added to the list of summoned Santiago Simon -a steering wheel with the ability to unfold- now Benjamin Rollheiser, a 21-year-old youth who with his income gave fresh air to River’s attack. Something that was specifically evidenced by Newell’s and Independiente.
The defense, sung
Gallardo Basically, he does not have too many alternatives to give his team a rudder: Alex Vigo will be the starter again given the injury of Milton Helmet (torn) and Fabrizio Angileri will play on the left wing. The rear would be occupied again by Rojas and Díaz given the confirmation of the small tear of David martinez.
River’s probable formation
Gallardo announced the squad list for the match against Arsenal.
Given the circumstances, then, River would form against Arsenal with Franco Armani; Alex Vigo, Robert Rojas, Paulo Díaz, Fabrizio Angileri; Nicolás de la Cruz, Enzo Pérez, Bruno Zuculini; Jorge Carrascal; Braian Romero or Matías Suárez and Julián Álvarez.
