River is going through a complicated moment both on the field and physically. After the 1-0 defeat against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata in the second round of the Clausura Tournament, the medical staff confirmed the initial diagnosis of the three players who had to leave the field due to various injuries: Marcos Acuña, Mauro Arambarri, and Ángel Correa.
The main concern is the condition of the left-back. "Huevo" felt a sharp pain in the back of his right thigh midway through the second half while trying to prevent a ball from going out of bounds. The world champion immediately left the match and was replaced by the young Facundo González.
The initial tests determined that he suffered a muscle strain in the right hamstring, although the medical staff will conduct a new evaluation to confirm if there is a tear and to establish the severity of the injury. If this diagnosis is confirmed, Eduardo Coudet could lose one of his starters for several weeks.
The possible absence of the former Sevilla player also raises the need to acquire a left-back in this transfer market. River continues to negotiate with Olympiacos for Francisco Ortega, although the economic difference between both clubs still prevents closing the deal.
