The River Plate
coach
,
Martín Demichelis
, matures the possibility of making variations in all the lines in the team that will visit
Lanús
on Saturday for the sixth date of the
Professional Football League (LPF)
, after the heavy defeat against Arsenal del Last weekend.
In this context, the central defenders
Paulo Díaz
and
Jonatan Maidana
, the midfielders
Santiago Simón
and
Nicolás de la Cruz
, and the Colombian striker
Miguel
Borja
are the players with the best chances of starting on Saturday against "Granate", one of the four pointers, together with Talleres de Córdoba, Defense and Justice and San Lorenzo.
Maidana returned to training normally, after the absence due to fever last Wednesday, and the Chilean Díaz went to the bench in the last two games.
One of the two will replace Enzo Díaz, who had poor performances as a defender, since he was a left back at Talleres.

The possibility of
Emanuel Mammana
as an alternative lost weight after training this morning, where his workload was lowered (he is recovering from an injury), and the bet is that he can play against
Racing de Córdoba
next Wednesday for the
Argentine Cup
.
In the middle zone, both Enzo Pérez and Ignacio "Nacho" Fernández always played and now it would be a novelty if Simón entered, who was the figure with two goals against Banfield in the Champions Trophy semifinal, while the Uruguayan De la Cruz entered in the second stage in the defeat against Arsenal.
The return of the Uruguayan is
the change that has the greatest chances
since until now he had not played because he underwent an arthroscopy in December last year, but for Demichelis he is one of the best midfielders in South America.

For his part, Simón's bet has to do with the fact that he did not come off the bench against Arsenal despite the two goals he scored against Banfield in the only game he played from the start this year.
As Demichelis commented on more than one occasion, with De la Cruz the team can have greater recovery capacity and offensive vertigo and with Simón high recovery, medium distance and passing between the lines, attributes that the team did not demonstrate against Arsenal.
Finally, in the offensive, Borja will return from the start, who in the two games before the defeat with Banfield
came out with discomfort
and that relegated him to the substitute bench.

It remains to be seen if the Venezuelan
Salomón Rondón
or
Lucas Beltrán
will accompany him to play with a double 9 as he did against Banfield and Arsenal or he will return to the offensive duo of the first dates with
Pablo Solari
.
The truth is that the team will have changes since the coach has not yet found the operating structure and that is why only
Franco Armani, "Nacho" Fernández, Enzo Pérez and Milton Casco
have perfect starting attendance.
In this way, the possible team would be with: Franco Armani, Robert Rojas, Paulo Díaz or Jonatan Maidana, Enzo Díaz and Milton Casco;
Santiago Simón, Enzo Pérez, Nicolás De la Cruz and Ignacio "Nacho" Fernández;
Miguel Borja and Salomón Rondón or Lucas Beltrán or Pablo Solari.
In addition, the youthful Franco Alfonso
will return to the concentration
, who sprained his ankle against Banfield and did not play against Arsenal but for Demichelis he is an important
alternative
, which is why he gave him minutes from the bench in four games.
The "Millionaire" team will train again on Friday afternoon to stay concentrated in the Monumental awaiting the game before visiting Lanús on Saturday at 7:15 p.m.
