Independiente captain Iván Marcone has dengue and misses a key duel in the League Cup. The news was confirmed by the club, hours before the clash against Banfield.

The 33-year-old midfielder had not been able to complete training on Thursday with his teammates as a result of a fever that had set off alarms in the red portion of Avellaneda. The coach can use the youth David Martínez, 19 years old, who in the current tournament participated in 10 of Rojo's 12 games.
