The income of De la Cruz, Simón and Borja are some of the variants that the coach tried, who has just lost at home to Arsenal.


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.
