Racing’s Gabriel Arias Shuts Instagram After Online Abuse as Starting Spot Comes Into Doubt

He accepted responsibility for the Unión defeat, rejecting rumors of a feud with coach Gustavo Costas.

Overview

  • He closed his account after insults directed at him and his family intensified following the 3–2 loss to Unión.
  • Arias said he was the main person responsible for the defeat to Unión, acknowledging a costly mistake.
  • He has conceded 11 goals in five matches, with errors cited against Argentinos Juniors, Unión and Peñarol.
  • Talk of a rift with Costas was denied by both sides after the late Peñarol switch that prepared Facundo Cambeses for potential penalties.
  • With San Lorenzo visiting on Friday, Costas has not confirmed whether Arias or Cambeses will start, as the situation fuels concern over social‑media harassment of players.
