River Plate welcomes back injured players for matches
River Plate is gearing up for important matches in the coming days. Next weekend, they will host Rosario Central at the Monumental Stadium for matchday 11 of the Apertura. After that, they will face Universitario in their first Copa Libertadores 2025 match in Lima. The team recently suffered a setback with the news that midfielder MatÃas Kranevitter has a muscle tear. However, several key players are close to returning from injuries. These include Sebastián Driussi, Lucas MartÃnez Quarta, and MatÃas Rojas, who are expected to be fit for the match against Rosario Central. Driussi and MartÃnez Quarta have completed their recovery from injuries and may start, but the coach, Marcelo Gallardo, might choose to hold them back to ensure they are fresh for the Copa Libertadores match. Rojas, who is still trying to find his place in a crowded squad, is likely to be available as a substitute. Another player nearing a comeback is Giuliano Galoppo. He started the season strongly but has been sidelined for 36 days due to a strain. His return would be a boost for River Plate as they look to continue their successful season.
