As reported in the last few hours LAPLATA1.com The Lobo coach and his collaborators had left the Estancia Chica sports complex very worried after the two friendlies that took place against Lanús behind closed doors.
Beyond the fact that the results and formations were only communicated through the clubs’ official information channels, this portal was able to know that during the second test Germán Conti had had a muscle injury that immediately required his replacement by Diego Mastrángelo. In that sense, the former Racing and Colón de Santa Fe defender in the first play made a backward pass and felt discomfort that prevented him from continuing the friendly rehearsal.
In fact, the central marker underwent medical tests this Thursday that confirmed a grade 3 injury to the rectum that will initially sideline him for a month from the consideration of the coaching staff and taking into account that the competition will initially have midweek dates, he could miss at least five dates including the La Plata classic.
It should be noted that currently Conti, beyond not being a starter, is the main alternative to Renzo Giampaoli and Enzo Martínez and during Zaniratto’s second interim term he added minutes when the coaching staff decided to use a line of five defenders. In principle Juan Cruz Cortazzo will be called up against Racing and there is a good chance that the youth player Alejo Gelsomino will be called up again.
Let us remember that Conti arrived at Lobo in July of last year without a position or purchase option and sealed a contract until December 2026. However, an untimely injury will sideline him from the final stretch of the preseason and the premiere of the competition.
