Overview

• An official club medical bulletin states Agustín Marchesín sustained a Grade II muscular lesion in his right calf/soleus during the win at Aldosivi and was replaced by Leandro Brey.
• Multiple outlets report an estimated 2–4 week recovery, which puts Marchesín in serious doubt for the Interzonal against Rosario Central on Sept. 14.
• Leandro Brey, 22, is viewed as the leading option to start next match, with Javier García and Sergio “Chiquito” Romero considered alternatives given Romero’s 2025 inactivity after knee surgery.
• A viral image of Miguel Ángel Russo on the bench prompted public scrutiny of his condition, and former assistant Hugo Gottardi said he sees the coach “demacrado,” while rejecting claims Russo fell asleep.
• Russo visited the Fleni clinic for routine tests according to reporters and sources close to him, who denied any hospitalization, with some reports adding he is treating a urinary infection.
