River already has its sights set on the Club World Cup, where it will face Urawa Red Diamonds, Monterrey, and Inter Milan in Group E. Marcelo Gallardo is waiting for reinforcements managed by Jorge Brito, but meanwhile he has finalized the squad list for the trip to the United States.

The squad consists of 35 players, filling all available spots, which means that no player will remain in Argentina.

Meanwhile, the Millonario delegation will stay at Starfire Sports, a sports complex located half an hour from Seattle and just 16 kilometers (10 miles) from Lumen Field Stadium, where it will face the Japanese team.

The two surprises and the youth players who are also traveling

Although his loan expires on June 30, Federico Gattoni will be part of the delegation. Meanwhile, despite his cruciate ligament injury, Agustín Ruberto will also travel, as he is currently recovering but will continue his rehabilitation in the United States.

Meanwhile, among those drafted, four youth players stand out: Lautaro Rivero, recalled from Central Córdoba, Bautista Dadin, Giorgio Costantini, and Santiago Lencina.

With this decision, River confirms that it will not add any last-minute reinforcements for the tournament, at least before the start of the competition.
