matches.

Santiago Ascacibar, in doubt for the final against Atlético Mineiro

The evolution of Ascacibar's knee will be decisive to know if he can be present against Atlético Mineiro. Although not yet ruled out, your participation will depend on how you respond physically over the next few days

Because of the importance of the final of the South American Championship, Arruabarrena could evaluate the possibility of including it even if it does not arrive in full physical form.

Paredes, Blanco and Battaglia are also a source of concern
