Martín Demichelis does not stop adding headaches
.
To the defensive problems that were evident last weekend in the first defeat of his cycle against
Belgrano de Córdoba
, this Tuesday was added the
serious injury of Bruno Zuculini
, which beyond the name leaves him little solvent in a key position of the team as the central midfielder.
"In today's training, the player Bruno Zuculini sprained his left knee and subsequent studies confirmed the presumed diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Surgical resolution will be scheduled in the coming days
," reported the official medical report that delivered Nunez's club.
The absence of Zuculini -in principle for three or four months since it is a partial tear- is added to that suffered by Matías Kranevitter, who on the day of the debut of his return to River had a fracture in his right ankle due to a brutal kick in a friendly against La Calera from Chile.
Until April he will be inactive
.
To top it all off, last week
Felipe Peña
's loan to Arsenal de Sarandí was sealed, which in this context leaves captain
Enzo Pérez as the only role central midfielder
in the professional squad.

Alternatives? several
.
Agustín Palavecino
can be that mixed footballer who fills the role if the Mendoza player wants to take care of his physique and avoid overloading matches when the Copa Libertadores begins.
Also the 'Millionaire' can go on the market and
incorporate up to two players
.
One until this Thursday, after goalkeeper Leo Díaz went on loan, and another in the next
ten business days
due to Zuculini's injury.
The 29-year-old midfielder who emerged from Racing wore the red band shirt in 121 games, with nine goals and two assists.
In the Demichelis era, he had barely played
14 official minutes
on the first date of the victory against Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero, for the current Professional League.
