The break is over for River. After three days off, the millionaire team will return to training this Thursday, with the focus on Colón de Santa Fe, their next rival. When changing in the locker room, there will be six empty lockers, at least temporarily. Between the FIFA date and the Under 23 team, Martín Demichelis will not be able to count on six key pieces to build his team. And what is most worrying is that several of them will possibly miss the next match once morest Sabalero.
The Greatest will return to training without Franco Armani, Paulo Díaz, Nicolás De La Cruz or Salomón Rondón. The four were called up by the teams of Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela, respectively, to play the double day of the South American Qualifiers. They are joined by Santiago Simón and Pablo Solari, who were summoned by Javier Mascherano to play a couple of friendlies at the Lionel Messi stadium.
The complication for this is that between the FIFA date and the start of the ninth day of the Professional League Cup there will be few hours of rest and three of the four called up to their respective teams might miss the match in Santa Fe. These are the cases of Paulo Díaz, Nicolás De La Cruz and Rondón, who will be active next Tuesday and the match once morest Colón will be on Thursday 19/ 10 at 6:30 p.m. In addition, everyone will return from an extensive and uncomfortable trip: the Chilean defender and Salomón will face each other in Venezuela, while the Uruguayan midfielder will play in Barranquilla.
With this panorama, Martín Demichelis must put the puzzle back together to visit Columbus. It is likely that he can count on Franco Armani (except for some unforeseen event, he will be a substitute in the two Scaloneta matches, once morest Paraguay and Peru) and also on Santiago Simón and Pablo Solari, who will be released by the Sub 23 next Saturday, following to play a second informal friendly. But he will have to get involved in the team to replace Paulo Díaz, Nicolás De La Cruz and Salomón Rondón.

The other important news for River in this return to work is that Jonatan Maidana is very close to receiving a definitive medical discharge, although for the moment he remains differentiated. The experienced defender has been recovering from a soleus muscle injury for almost a month and might be at the coach’s disposal once more for the next game once morest Colón.
It is true that Jony has not had much activity recently, but given so many absences due to the playoffs, it is a card in hand that Demichelis will have, at least to complete the bench of substitutes.
The possible team to visit Columbus
The double round of Qualifiers will force the Millionaire to get his hands on the team. Franco Armani, Paulo Díaz, Nicolás De La Cruz and Salomón Rondón will rejoin River next Wednesday, October 18, just the same day that the Millionaire will be traveling to Santa Fe to visit Colón a day later. A situation that generates a headache for Martín Demichelis when it comes to assembling the team.
If Casilda’s Pulpo does not add minutes with the Argentine National Team, he will be a fixture to visit Sabalero. For his part, Ramiro Funes might replace Paulo Díaz, who today is the undisputed starter in Chile. In the middle, Rodrigo Aliendro would return to the axis alongside Enzo Pérez in the absence of Nico De La Cruz. And going forward, it is likely that Miguel Borja will return to the starting lineup to take Salomón Rondón’s place.
How might River form to visit Colón for the ninth round of the Professional League Cup? With Franco Armani in the bow; Andres Herrera, Leandro Gonzalez Perez, Ramiro Funes Mori and Milton Casco in the background; Enzo Perez and Rodrigo Aliendro in contention; Ignatius Fernandez, Manuel Lanzini and Esequiel Barco among the offensive flyers; and Miguel Borja as the only striker.
When does River play once more in the Professional League Cup?
El Millonario will visit Colón de Santa Fe for the ninth day of the tournament at the Brigadier Estanislao López stadium, popularly known as “The Elephant Cemetery.” The match will be played on Thursday, October 19, starting at 6:30 p.m. and will be televised on the TNT Sports screen through the football pack.
