River’s Sebastián Driussi Ruled Out of Palmeiras Second Leg With Hamstring Tear

Medical tests set a minimum three-week recovery that compels Marcelo Gallardo to reshuffle his attack.

Overview

  • Scans confirmed a tear in Driussi’s left biceps femoral after he left the first leg in clear pain early in the second half.
  • The forward will miss the quarterfinal return match in São Paulo as well as Torneo Clausura dates against Riestra and Rosario Central.
  • Reports indicate Facundo Colidio is the likely replacement up front alongside Maximiliano Salas for the trip to Brazil.
  • Recovery timelines reported by local media suggest a possible return after the October FIFA window, potentially versus Sarmiento or later against Talleres.
  • This marks at least his third significant injury of 2025, following a severe left-ankle sprain that sidelined him for about 66 days and an earlier hamstring tear in March.
