In dialogue with Win SportsScarpeta said: “thank the fans … I’m not physically to compete, it looks complex, I am starting the final stretch of recovery It is a very misleading injury, depending on the evolution that I have there we are seeing. ”
The absence of Scarpeta represents a hard setback for those led by the coaching staff, especially considering the importance of its role in the defensive solidity of the team.

Initially, there was a slight hope that Scarpeta could recover at least for the second leg in Medellín. However, sources close to the club and journalistic confirmations have dissipated any illusion: the injury is more serious than expected and the defender will not be available for the first leg, which will be played on Tuesday at the Campín, nor for the return at the Atanasio Girardot next Sunday, June 29.
This sensitive leave forces Santa Fe’s coaching staff to rethink its defensive strategy to counteract the offensive power of Independiente Medellín. Without Scarpetta, the cardinal must look for alternatives and adjust its background as in the last matches of the home runs.
