Overview

  • Medical tests showed a tear in the left biceps femoris, sidelining the 29-year-old for at least three weeks and possibly up to four.
  • He was substituted 10 minutes into the second half in the first leg and will also miss league matches against Riestra and Rosario Central.
  • River is eyeing a post‑October FIFA window return, potentially versus Sarmiento, otherwise against Talleres in Córdoba.
  • The forward is the team’s leading scorer this year with 10 goals and may also be absent for the Copa Argentina tie against Racing.
  • It is his third injury since returning to the club, after a March hamstring issue and a Club World Cup ankle sprain that sidelined him 66 days, with Miguel Borja another option up front.
