From victory to victory
,
River
begins to leave the questions behind.
Fundamentally,
Martín Demichelis
, a coach who came to succeed
Marcelo Gallardo
and knows that the shadow of the international feat is very large.
Even despite having won two titles in 2023, he did not achieve recognition for his management.
However, the man from Córdoba continues moving forward and after the comfortable victory against Riestra, he already has a plan in his head to manage the loads and for his team to arrive in the best conditions for the Superclásico on February 24.
The delegation will travel this afternoon at 6:00 p.m. to
Tucumán
, where tomorrow they will play against Atlético.
Demichelis
is evaluating whether to put on the plane the two players who will rejoin today after playing the Pre-Olympic with the Under 23 National Team: Pablo Solari and Claudio Echeverri.
“The trip from Venezuela is long, tiring, we will see how they arrive to see if we can incorporate them to fly to Tucumán.
Surely they will want to rejoin quickly, like Seba Boselli, whom I thank because he is the only boy on campus who has not had a single day of vacation.
“I will talk to Pablo and Claudio and we will try to take care of them because we need them healthy,” said the coach.
The good news on Monday is that Milton Casco is now available
.
At the beginning of December, the full-back underwent surgery for a meniscal injury in his right knee.
He already works alongside his teammates and Demichelis must decide whether he takes him to Tucumán or plays again against Banfield, on Sunday at the Monumental.
Looking towards the horizon,
River has the duel with Boca between its eyebrows
.
By then
Manuel Lanzini and Matías Kranevitter
will be recovered .
The hitch suffered a tear in the hamstring of his right leg on January 20 in a friendly with Pachuca.
One possibility is that he is on the bench against Banfield.
Lanzini will be available in the Superclásico.

In the case of the midfielder, the tear in the rectus femoris of his right leg occurred prior to the start of the tournament, just before his debut with Argentinos Juniors.
After some criticism, Nicolás Fonseca asserted himself in the middle of the field.
Kranevitter was a fixture to take the place left by Enzo Pérez, who decided to follow his career in Estudiantes.
Santiago Simón is another footballer who is soon to return.
The flying winger suffered a fracture dislocation in the first metacarpal of his right hand against Monterrey and next week he will be in a cast for a month.
Losses due to injuries were a constant in the eventful start to 2024. As if all this were not enough, Gonzalo Martínez tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will only be able to return in the second semester.
Regarding the duel with the Tucumans, Demichelis evaluates whether to continue with Marcelo Herrera or play Agustín Sant'Anna from the start.
The kids Franco Mastantuono and Agustín Ruberto ask for a clue.
Facundo Colidio or Miguel Borja could rest.
Will Rodrigo Villagra, who entered in the second half with Deportivo Riestra, start?
