In that sense, the first significant loss is that of Fainer Torijano who was sent off in the 58th minute of the match against Boyacá Chicó in the quarterfinals of the BetPlay Cup.
The other person that Restrepo will not be able to count on for this commitment is Brayan León, who has quadriceps muscle overload.
The medical department of Deportivo Independiente Medellín established that his disability will depend on his clinical evolution.
The classic will be on the night of this Thursday, October 31, from 8 pm at the colossus on 74.

**Interview with Sports Analyst Maria Lopez on DIM’s Challenges Facing Atlético Nacional in the BetPlay Cup**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Maria. Let’s dive right into it. DIM is set to face Atlético Nacional in the first leg of the BetPlay Cup, but they’re going in with two significant losses. Can you tell us who those players are and how their absence might impact the team?
**Maria Lopez:** Absolutely. DIM is without key players due to injuries, and this is a big blow for them. The first major absence is their star striker, who has been crucial for their attacking play this season. His ability to find the back of the net will be sorely missed. The second loss is a central defender, known for his leadership and presence at the back. This could create vulnerabilities in their defense against a strong adversary like Atlético Nacional.
**Interviewer:** That sounds tough for DIM. How do you think these changes will affect their strategy heading into the match?
**Maria Lopez:** Without their usual striker, DIM may choose to adopt a more defensive strategy, potentially looking to play on the counter-attack. They might rely on their midfield to create opportunities and possibly play a more compact game to compensate for the loss of their central defender. However, this can be risky against a team like Atlético Nacional, known for their attacking prowess.
**Interviewer:** What do you think DIM needs to focus on to come out with a positive result despite these challenges?
**Maria Lopez:** Communication and teamwork will be critical. The remaining players need to step up their game and fill the gaps left by their missing teammates. They should also focus on set pieces and capitalize on any weaknesses in Atlético Nacional’s defense, which could be a way to score without relying heavily on a traditional striker.
**Interviewer:** Great insights, Maria. Looking ahead, how crucial is this first leg for DIM in terms of advancing in the tournament?
**Maria Lopez:** This match is very important. A strong performance, even without their key players, could boost their confidence for the return leg. If they can secure a decent result, they will carry that momentum into the second leg. Conversely, a heavy loss might make the task of turning it around in the home game much more difficult.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your analysis, Maria. We’ll certainly be keeping an eye on DIM’s performance against Atlético Nacional in what promises to be an exciting match.
**Maria Lopez:** Thank you for having me! Looking forward to a thrilling match.
