River's possible lineup to visit Barracas Central for date 2 of the Professional League Cup

While trying to close the incorporations of Rodrigo Villagra, central midfielder, and a forward who could be Luciano Rodríguez or José López, the “Millonario”, who only incorporated Nicolás Fonseca, did not have a good debut in the 2024 Professional League Cup , against Argentinos Juniors at the Monumental: they barely tied 1-1, with Miguel Borja's goal and Santiago Montiel's tie.

Now River Plate, Martín Demichelis' team, must visit for date 2 of the League Cup Central Barracks, which also tied with the same result in its debut, against Vélez Sarsfield. We review the news and the possible alignment of the “Millo”.

Although it is likely that Agustín Palavecino and Milton Casco could return to the squad after leaving their respective physical problems behind, the coach would not rush them and would give them a few minutes to gradually get used to physical friction.

Remembering that Pablo Solari, Sebastián Boselli and Claudio Echeverri are with their teams in the South American U-23 Pre-Olympic, and that Gonzalo “Pity” Martínez, Santiago Simón and Manuel Lanzini are injured, it will surely be the same 11 that played from the beginning vs. AAJ those who will take the field against Barracas.

The last match River faced with 20 players, of which six were youth players with no experience in First Division: Franco Mastantuono, Ian Subiabre, Agustín Ruberto, Daniel Zabala, Tobías Leiva and Jonas Luna. That is why, while waiting for reinforcements to arrive and be able to put on the shirt to be starters, the coach plans to repeat the formula that he did against the “Bug”.
