In an unbeatable context, with five wins in a row between the League Cup and the Argentine Cup, Fernando Gago continues to recover players. After having Javier Correa available once more, scorer of a goal in the 4-1 win over Sarmiento, for the second day in a row Edwin Cardona worked normally at Racing and very possibly, at least, Gago will take him to the bench this Thursday for the South American once morest River Plate. The Academy will visit that team at the legendary Centenario stadium, in the team’s debut for Group B of the Cup.
Last week, Edwin had started doing some tasks alongside his classmates, followed by specific tasks with one of the Profes. Edwin did the tune-up following the hamstring tear in his right leg. After being left out of the squad for Saturday’s match, the Colombian on Sunday completed all activities at the same pace as the group of players who did not play once morest Verde de Junín or did so in less than 45 minutes. This Monday, on the auxiliary court, Cardona trained at the same time. That is to say, he participated in the definition exercises and tactical movements, all always with the group that played less than 45 ‘ once morest Sarmiento.
Gago will have to define if Cardona will go to the bank or will start in Racing once morest River de Uruguay for the South American
With the margin that the good performance of the team even without Cardona gave him, the coaching staff always aimed for Edwin to be in a position to reappear for the South American. And if all goes well, that will happen. Although given the encouraging moment of the team, perhaps Gago does not include it from the start.
Cardona suffered the muscle injury on March 5, in the 1-0 win over Talleres, and missed four games: once morest Atlético Tucumán, Independiente, Gimnasia y Tiro (Argentine Cup) and Sarmiento. As for Correa, he had played his last game on February 22, when he scored a goal in a 3-0 win over Argentinos. That day he left the court due to a tear in the biceps femoris of his left leg. In his replacement, Enzo Copetti entered, at a good time: he is the top scorer of the academy. Correa returned to the ring when he entered the second half of the crossover with Verde and scored a nice goal, the final 4-1.
