After a day off, post tie with Barracas Central, the Racing squad will return to training this Monday in a very special week. It will be the beginning of the road to the crossing next Sunday against Boca, from 8:30 p.m. In addition to trying to correct what the team did not do well against Guapo (it was quite a lot), Fernando Gago will closely follow the evolution of the best defender he has. Will the return of Sigali in the classic with Boca in the Cylinder take place in Racing?
Towards the end of last week, the Bear performed aerobic tasks on the field (differentiated), for the first time since the soleus strain in his left leg suffered during the game against Newell’s. According to what they told this portal, today he would be more outside than inside the upcoming commitment.
The defender still did not return to work normally and, if he began to do so this week, he would reach the commitment with Xeneize with just enough. And in that context, Gago wouldn’t risk resentment. “It will depend on how he responds on a day-to-day basis this week. If he’s not 100%, Gago wouldn’t put him on,” a very reliable source told RdA.
Leo had not arrived in optimal conditions at the Avellaneda derby and with Leprosy he asked for the change in the first half. Against Barracas, the Academy defender missed the fourth game, in all of them he was replaced by Jonathan Galván, one of the reinforcements of the last pass market with a performance that went from high to low.
Charging …Beyond Sigali, the injured player who will not reach Racing – Boca
The other player who is recovering from a muscle injury is Emiliano Vecchio, with a tear in the inner calf of his right leg. The creative midfielder also pointed to the classic with Boca, but he was ruled out because he felt discomfort when he was required in one of the practices last week. He will not be able to be on Thursday the 18th against Banfield either and, perhaps, he will once again be available to Pintta at the crossroads with San Lorenzo, on the 15th date, on Monday the 22nd at the Cilindro. The former Rosario Central was injured during the Avellaneda classic.
Without Vecchio, until now Gago used Jonatan Gómez and Carlos Alcaraz as internal midfielder on the left, the latter starting in the last two presentations of the team and without great benefits. We will have to see who will start in that sector in the classic with Boca.
