Overview
- River’s medical staff confirmed a left hamstring distension in Sebastián Driussi and classified it as a relapse of a prior injury.
- The club set an estimated recovery window of two to three weeks, ruling him out against Gimnasia and putting the Nov. 9 Superclásico in serious doubt.
- Driussi left the Copa Argentina match versus Independiente Rivadavia at the 36th minute and was replaced by Facundo Colidio.
- Since returning in early 2025, he has sustained five muscular or articular injuries, missed 18 official games, and logged 32 appearances with 10 goals.
- The timing compounds River’s concerns after its Copa Argentina elimination as Gallardo adjusts selection and tactics for a decisive Clausura run and Libertadores qualification push.
