It hurt
Paulo Díaz
.
And it worried
River
.
The Chilean defender had to be replaced 36 minutes into the first half by Jonatan Maidana
due to a discomfort in his right thigh,
practically 15 'after having suffered a strong knee - albeit involuntary - from Enrique Triverio.
And his departure generates uncertainty when there are just three days left for the superclassic against Boca
.
The moment of Triverio's blow to Paulo Díaz.
If it is only an annoyance caused by the impact with the Huracán player, the presence of
Díaz
in the round of 16 of the Argentine Cup should not take risks.
However, what generated a certain level of uncertainty due to his physical condition was
the image of River's team doctor placing ice on the defender on the right adductor muscle.
While waiting for an official medical report, in the screening
Gallardo
only has an alternative to relieve
Díaz
if necessary.
And it is precisely
Maidana
,
since Robert Rojas continues to work differently as a result of a pubalgia
(Agustín Fontana-tear- and Matías Suárez also drag injuries, with a slight distension).
However,
the potential departure of Díaz would also dismember the titular central duo
: the one that the Firefighter managed to form with Héctor David Martínez.
A duo that was excluded from the partial rotation that Gallardo decided for the fourth date of the League: they took the field against Huracán.
A risk that the detainee assumed and that - pending the official report - does not stop worrying.

The projected risk to the Cup
And the fact is that, in the case of a more serious injury and not only a trauma, the presence of
Paulo Díaz
will also be at risk
for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores:
in ten days, River will receive Atlético Mineiro at the Monumental
(the round will be played on 8/18 in Belo Horizonte).
