Bad and good.
Good and bad.
This was River's day this Monday, 48 hours after facing Newell's, in a key match for the local tournament, in which Marcelo Gallardo's team will seek a victory that will allow it to continue in the top positions.
On the one hand, it was confirmed that
Milton Casco and Felipe Peña suffered a small tear
in the area of the left hamstrings.
And on the other,
Franco Armani and Matías Suárez received medical discharge
.
In this way, the Doll recovers two key men from his scheme, although it is not yet known if the two will go from the start.
Already recovered from a synovitis in his left knee,
Armani will surely return to the goal, but the Cordoba is still in doubt
.
On the other hand, Coach Millionaire will not be able to train his ideal team.
It is that, apart from the wait for Suárez, the Doll will no longer be able to count on Casco.
Both the winger and Peña underwent medical studies and the results were not encouraging: they showed that both have a grade 1 muscle injury in the left hamstrings.
An injury that will require at least a couple of weeks to recover.
In other words,
Gallardo would lose them both, not only for Wednesday's visit to Newell's in Rosario, but also with Arsenal on Sunday, at the Monumental
and probably in the clash in Santiago del Estero against Central Córdoba, which will be played. on Saturday 25. They would just be available for the Superclásico on October 3 in Núñez.

Casco and Peña had withdrawn from practice last Saturday with a discomfort in the hamstring area of the left leg and finally the studies determined that it was more than a contracture. For Gallardo, they are two important casualties. Casco's because he loses a starter. And
with Peña out, he runs out of a good spare part
. In his four games in the First Division, the youth showed temperance to be considered by the Doll, by playing in two different positions, as a central midfielder and as a first defender.
Against this background, everything suggests that the right back against Newell's will have Alex Vigo as the starter.
And Fabrizio Angileri will return from the left side, after recovering from a tear.
In addition, with the return of Paulo Díaz (this Monday he joined the training sessions), the coach will be able to build the starting central defense with the Chilean and David Martínez.
In the midfield, Enzo Pérez, Nicolás De La Cruz and Bruno Zuculini have their place, while Julián Álvarez will surely be among the eleven starters, as will Braian Romero, on 9. Meanwhile, the other place would come from between Jorge Carrascal or Suarez.
It will be necessary to see how the Cordovan responds this Tuesday, after the synovitis in the right knee that afflicted him in recent weeks.
