He was conspicuous by his absence, like those players who are indispensable on any team.
Above all, if it is about the scorer.
That is why
Martín Demichelis
devised a plan so that
Miguel Borja
can arrive in condition for the Superclásico this Sunday.
It won't be easy, it's clear.
“
Borja's injury was not that big
.
Miguel is the first optimist, we are accompanying them.
The good thing within the bad thing is that he is going to get into the fight during the week.
We will see how he is between Wednesday and Thursday,” said the coach after the draw with Banfield.
In that sense, Borja did not waste a minute.
This Monday,
he underwent a kinesiology session and did field work without the ball
.
The Colombian suffered a muscle injury in the adductor of his left leg in Tucumán, during River's 0-0 draw with Atlético at the José Fierro stadium.
He was unable to finish the game to the point that he was replaced by Agustín Ruberto 10 minutes into the second half.
Borja scored six goals in five games, he is the top scorer for River and the championship
.
That is why he became a key footballer.
After fighting hand-to-hand with Salomón Rondón last year, the Venezuelan emigrated to the Rayados de Monterrey and won the title by temporary nature.
However, Demichelis did not give him anything.
On the contrary, he held his own with great forcefulness.

While waiting for Borja, Demichelis is already imagining the duel on the 7th date at the Monumental.
“We will review what was done in this match with Banfield, but
I imagine River will be the protagonist against Boca
.
On Sunday we have an opponent that we want to play against and we want to beat them by playing well.
Everything else regarding the organization does not depend on us,” he stated.
Will Pablo Solari be the starter?
The young man who returned from the Pre-Olympic Championship entered the second half well and also scored the tying goal.
“Both Pablo and those who entered entered the game very well.
One makes changes to improve or sustain the level of the team.
Solari can play inside or outside, he gives us both variants.
Talking to Monday's newspaper is easy.
But we are very happy that he has reintegrated,” he said.
Looking ahead to Sunday, Matías Kranevitter has already received the medical discharge and this week Manuel Lanzini would return to field work.
