The technical director of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, Sebastián Romero, will wait until the last moment to confirm the team that will receive the Institute this Friday for the fourth day of the Professional Soccer League since it will not have Ignacio Miramón (sent off once morest Banfield), Franco Soldano, Nicolás Colazo and Maximiliano Comba injured, and awaits the evolution of Eric Ramírez.
Cristian Tarragona might start, although the coach himself stated: “He is very good and at the last moment we will define if he starts or adds minutes once more from the bench. We’ll see what’s best.”
Regarding the team’s performance at the beginning of the tournament, Romero highlighted: “hopefully this Friday will be the day of victory. We are working for that to happen, because we all need it. We didn’t start the way we wanted, but I’m sure that when it’s over we’ll be much higher”.
Referring to the next rival, he said that “Instituto is a tough team, they changed very little. They started well, they are solid. But we have the illusion, and the obligation, to add the three points”.
In addition, the gymnastics coach answered regarding the situation of Benjamín Domínguez, one of the club’s great hopes.
In this regard, he stated that “everyone knows what I think of Benja. And sometimes you have to take care of the players. His time will come once more. Something similar happened to me with Timoteo (Griguol), you see him every day and you have to know how not to expose them”.
“We are at a disadvantage with training, we knew we were going to have injuries, today we had a short squad. We are going to need everyone and there are many games in a row, “said the DT “albiazul”.
Gimnasia following the clash with Instituto will play on Wednesday for the Argentine Cup once morest Excursionistas, then they will visit Barracas Central and receive Colón.
Regarding the panorama of the injured, the list is extensive. Nicolás Colazo, who was left out of the previous date, has strained his left anterior cruciate ligament, is in a splint in the area and will be out for at least a month.
Maximiliano Comba, with a bruise resulting from a trauma to his right foot, is also ruled out for tomorrow, and the same is true of Franco Soldano, who suffered a grade 2 muscle injury in the right rectus femoris and will have a recovery that will take between 3 and 4 weeks.
