After a night in which almost none of the members of the Independiente delegation could sleep too much due to the scandal that took place at the Salvador de Bahía airport, it was decided that the match between

Rojo

and the Bahía club for the South American Cup It is played as planned, that is, this Tuesday from 7.15pm.

The leadership of the Avellaneda institution finally ended up preferring "the lesser evil" to an embarrassing situation that arose on Monday afternoon when the campus arrived in Brazil and lasted until this morning.

Thus, Independiente will be presented with eight fewer players (those who continue to give "detectable" in the tests) and the technical director will be the goalkeeper coach César Velázquez.

Despite having the authorization of Conmebol, migrations from Brazil did not allow people who had coronavirus in recent weeks to pass through and who continue to test positive for having a viral load even though they are no longer contagious.

They are Juan Insaurralde, Adrián Arregui, Thomas Ortega, Lucas González, Renzo Bacchia, Gonzalo Asís, Pablo Hernández, Nicolás Messiniti, Pedro Monzón, Nicolás Vallina (press officer) and Walter Lusnig (leader).

All of them had to spend the night at the airport while the rest were able to move to the Novotel Hotel, which is a few blocks away.

The discomfort was and continues to be great among the protagonists who felt untrained.

They had to literally sleep on the floor, on some mats, and received food that they sent from their companions.
