Racing’s Risk of Losing Key Players and Limited Options Against Estudiantes

2023-07-07 17:35:59

There is no rest and Racing is already preparing to visit Estudiantes this Saturday. It will be another difficult game for Fernando Gago’s team, on a complicated field and with another who is also fighting for entry to the Cups. For this duel, the Academy arrives with the logical wear and tear caused by San Lorenzo, with players touched and others who are on the verge of being suspended. Going clean, the coach could lose almost half the team if they see the yellow card against Estudiantes.

The Racing players who are on the limit thinking about Students

Mura, Sigali, Piovi and Moreno have four warnings and are on the limit. They are joined by Gabriel Hauche, who was sent off against Cyclone and kept all four, and Paolo Guerrero, who no longer plays for Racing and will not be against Estudiantes. Sigali is on the limit.

The alarm is double because practically the entire defensive skeleton of Racing will be at risk against Estudiantes. The two central defenders, the undisputed central midfielder and the natural right-back. Mura has not started since Gago tried variants with three in the back and Avilés on the wing, but he is also a player that is highly regarded by the coach. On top of that, and not a minor detail, Gabriel Rojas also continues to play and work separately. He will not be in Racing against Estudiantes. After Pincha’s game, Rosario Central will come to the Academy in the Cylinder. A clash in which he is obliged to add the three points so as not to continue relegated in the annual table, which today has him in the middle of the table after having been in the lower zone a few weeks ago.

The few variants that Fernando Gago has

How could Gago manage if against Estudiantes the players on the limit see the yellow card? Now without Galván, Avilés, Quirós (both are emerging as starters with Estudiantes) and Insúa are the available pieces. Several defense positions should be distributed among them. In the middle, Nardoni would have to relocate, which would be something really problematic for the Academy thinking about Rosario Central. In case of playing all against Students, they must do so with great intelligence to avoid serious problems in the future.

The replacement problems that Racing has are not reduced to Estudiantes or the problem of yellow cards. It is a short and poorly designed campus. For this reason, this Saturday the Academy will have practically no forwards and will have to deal with some kid. Maxi Romero and Reniero are injured, Hauche suspended due to expulsion and Paolo Guerrero signed his termination. Things were so bad with the Peruvian that they didn’t even ask him to stay a couple more days, play against Pincha and then sign the termination of his contract.

Romero’s injury

Maxi broke down this Wednesday before San Lorenzo, in the play of the clear penalty that Hernán Mastrángelo did not collect. When he entered the area thrown at speed with a dominated ball, Giay charged him from behind, pushed him and the attacker suffered a trauma that caused the muscle injury. The former Vélez was left lying down, in a lot of pain, and immediately one of the doctors made a sign to the substitute bench to indicate that the player could not continue any longer. In his replacement, 25 minutes into the second half, Paolo Guerrero entered, with a very weak performance. The Peruvian was always anticipated and practically did not touch the ball. It was the last time he wore the Academy shirt after having arrived at the club just six months ago.
