Controversy in Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto: the leadership decided to remove a group of players due to lack of commitment

In the midst of a critical present in the Apertura Tournament, Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto made a decisive decision. After the 1-2 home defeat against Barracas Central, the management of the Cordovan club reported that a group of players from the professional squad

was separated indefinitely.

The decision was officially announced through a letter published on social networks, where the leadership explained the reasons with a strong message: "They do not align with the commitment, commitment and sporting objectives that our institution pursues and requires.”

The institution indicated that the decision was agreed between the management and the technical secretariat, after evaluating internal situations that did not meet the required standards. In addition, it was reported that players will be formally notified of the sanction at the next practice

.

Although the club did not disclose the names or the number of players affected, it did confirm that the sections will continue to be trained differently, under the supervision of personnel appointed by the institution.

The measure comes in a very adverse sporting context. After achieving promotion to the First Division at the end of 2025, the Cordovan team failed to adapt to the category: in 13 games it accumulated 10 losses, 2 draws and just 1 victory, against Huracán, with just 5 points. The last blow was the fall to Guapo, which deepened the crisis and left the team at the bottom of the annual table, the averages and also in Zone B of the championship. In addition, he also lost in the 32nd finals of the Argentine Cup to San Martín de Tucumán on penalties after equaling

0-0 in the 90s.

With this scenario, Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto seeks a stroke of effect to reverse a worrying sporting present, in which it has not yet managed to make a foothold in its return to the top flight of Argentine football.
