This Friday morning at the Estancia Chica sports complex there will be only one reinforcement (Ignacio Fernández) and several absences of footballers (Ingolotti, Villalba, Garayalde, Briasco, Merlini and Hurtado) that the leadership determined not to continue.
In that context and as usual, there will be youth players who will be promoted to work with the professional team and who have a good chance of staying permanently to begin to be options in building the team for 2026.
According to the information he was able to access LAPLATA1.com Juan Cruz Cortazzo (captain of the reserve in the last tournament) was called, and before the losses of Villalba and for the moment Renzo Giampaoli, he will be an alternative in the central defense.
He will also do his first preseason with first team Alejo Gelsomino, who has just signed his first contract, and is shaping up to become a variant on Pedro Silva Torrejón’s left back.
Another of the defenders who will start the preparation alongside the first team is Gonzalo González, highly valued by Zaniratto, as well as Diego Mastrángelo who will initially be considered as a central midfielder and a variant of Nicolás Barros Schelotto.
The midfielder’s area will also have Pablo Aguiar (he already debuted in the first division) and Santiago Villarreal (he made his debut with the brand new tripero coach). In the offensive, the presence of the reserve scorer Jorge De Asis and Cayetano Bolzán were confirmed. It should be noted that the course of the preparation and the arrival of more reinforcements may cause some of the youth players to be lowered to reserve who will begin practicing on January 5 at Estancia Chica with the brand new coach Ariel Pereyra.
Among the marginalized youth players are Santino López García, Leonel Troncoso and Brian Croce who has just turned professional.
