Díaz and Mammana would start again against Lanús next Saturday

Professional League

River needs defensive solidity and for that it is essential that the whole team be on the same page, from the forwards who press up, to the midfielders who have to lend a hand and logically the defenders. In the last games, River was a fragile team and that exceeds the names, in addition to specific errors by some players, the shortcomings were in the general disorder in the setback.

It is also true that Martín Demichelis still could not count on the best defenders that the squad has, or at least the ones that played the best in 2022, which was not characterized as being a great year in terms of defense either.. Since his arrival, Micho was only able to have Paulo Díaz available a little over ten days ago, he had Mammana at the beginning but he was injured a month ago and David Martínez never.

Díaz has already concentrated for the last two games and went to the bench, so seeing him as a starter against Lanús would not be unreasonable at all. Mammana for his part is coming back from a muscle injury but it is also believed that he will arrive for the match against Garnet next Saturday and If there were no inconvenience, Díaz and Mammana would once again make up the Millionaire’s starting central duo.

When had they last played together?

The last game they played together was on October 9 in Paraná against Patronato for date 24 of the Professional League 2022, on that day the Millionaire won 1-0 with a goal from Miguel Ángel Borja. Later, in the final dates of that championship, Javier Pinola and Leandro González Pirez played in the central defense.
