General interest
Twenty days have passed since the central defender suffered an injury to one of his hamstrings and the date of his return to the pitch appears on the horizon.
The victory in Córdoba against Banfield did not completely satisfy Martín Demichelis. Although the DT did not speak at a press conference, it is not necessary to be very wise to realize that Micho was concerned (once again) about the defensive image left by his team, especially in the second half: unbalanced and vulnerable against each opponent’s attack. It does not go through a question of names, but rather the collective functioning that has not yet managed to get oiled.
Although… the fans await the return of a fundamental player in the last one: Emanuel Mammana. A left hamstring injury has kept him sidelined from the courts since February 3. 20 days training differentiated It was a long time for the defender, who last year became an almost immovable piece in Gallardo’s scheme and surely will be in Demichelis’s when he is physically at his best.
In the Millionaire’s medical staff, they do not dare to give a date for Emanuel’s return, but next week appears on the horizon as the key stretch. Mammana no longer has too much pain in the area and will be closely evaluated by Demichelis in training after the game with Arsenal to see if he can be released and join the squad against Lanús, on Saturday March 4 at La Fortaleza.
“/>De la Cruz almost ready to return
The big news for this weekend is the imminent return of Nicholas De La Cruz to the payroll of concentrates. Micho has been following him closely for several days, he feels it physically well and it is almost a fact that the Uruguayan will occupy a place on the substitute bench against Arsenal, after surgery on one of his knees that made him miss all the preseason.
