On Sunday, February 18 at 7:15 p.m., Martín Demichelis' team will return to the monumental to face Banfield, seeking to repeat the result they achieved against Vélez. For the match against “Taladro” Manuel Lanzini and Matías Kranevitter could be called up again to add minutes. That depends on how they evolve during the week, another possibility is that Demichelis saves them so that they can be one hundred percent against Boca on February 25, also at the Monumental. Both players have already completed their recovery days and received medical discharge. Over the course of the week they returned to work with the same demands as their colleagues.

The only unknown would be the injury of the Colombian scorer, Miguel Borja, who asked for the change by throwing himself to the ground due to pain in the last match against the “dean” from Tucumán. The “millionaire” also has two players who are still recovering from their injuries, such as Martínez and Santiago Simon.

“Pity” suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the preseason in Florida, United States.
Gonzalo felt discomfort, fell to the floor and it was confirmed as the worst. The recovery time in these cases is six to eight months. The player would miss almost the entire year. In the case of Santiago Simón, he was also injured in the preseason that River did in North America and suffered a dislocated fracture of the first metacarpal in his right hand. As indicated by River's medical team, Simón must be with the area immobilized and will have to face a recovery of approximately 45 days, which could be extended to 60 depending on the evolution. He could arrive on date 8 when the “millionaire” visits Talleres de Córdoba in one of the most complicated games in the Zone.
