Santiago Hidalgo, the coaching staff will evaluate his condition. Ramiro Funes Mori reached an agreement with Estudiantes and is getting closer to leaving River. Very much postponed in Marcelo Gallardo’s consideration, the defender has decided to leave to gain minutes after a year of little action, although now comes the time for negotiation between the clubs.
With the arrivals of Germán Pezzella and Lucas Martínez Quarta in the last two transfer markets, plus the permanence of Paulo Díaz and Leandro González Pirez, the Mellizo is no longer even part of the call-ups. In fact, in 2025 he did not go to the substitute bench even once.
Since the Muñeco returned, who was the coach who managed to find his best version, Funes Mori barely played two games, both as a starter in alternative teams: against Gimnasia and against Defensa y Justicia, when he left due to a blow to the mouth. That’s why Eduardo Domínguez’s direct call to express his interest in having him changed the scenario completely. The 33-year-old left-hander was expecting an offer from abroad, but the alternative of joining a team that fights locally and is qualified for the Copa Libertadores was attractive to him.
River’s intention is for it to be a definitive transfer, and not a loan. With a contract valid until December 2026, that is, almost two more years, the Millionaire contemplates two alternatives: that the Mellizo accepts the termination and resigns what remains of the contract; or that Estudiantes makes an offer for his transfer.
Rey Domenech tore his leg and Alarcón came out on cotton wool
It was a night to forget, in which Boca left Peru with a 1-0 defeat against Alianza Lima in the first leg of Phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores, without any football certainty and with two new problems.
According to the club’s medical report, Camilo Rey Domenech suffered a muscle tear, while in the case of Williams Alarcón, who finished the match with discomfort, there was no statement, which means that he did not suffer any injury and will be able to be in the rematch at the Bombonera.
It should be remembered that Ander Herrera, Tomás Belmonte and Ignacio Miramón, all central midfielders, have already fallen from grace, adding to the list of 11 casualties suffered by the Xeneize for their visit to Lima. Fernando Gago will have to, once again, look for alternatives.
Rey Domenech was replaced by Exequiel Zeballos during halftime and, after the defeat, he was seen leaving the stadium visibly in pain and with a bandage. Finally, after medical studies in the last few hours, it was confirmed that he suffers from a muscle injury in the soleus of his right leg and therefore will be absent for at least three weeks, thus missing the return match.
Alarcón, on the other hand, lasted practically the entire match. The Chilean just left the field in injury time (Mateo Mendia came on in his place) and also left with a muscle problem. However, he did not have to undergo tests, he will be protected this Saturday and it is expected that he will be able to play for the rematch next Tuesday.
Hidalgo joined the squad and Vaccari is thinking about repeating the Independiente team against Instituto
The most important news was the presence of Santiago Hidalgo, who rejoined after having played the South American Under 20 with the Argentine National Team. The forward arrives with football rhythm, but did not do preseason and the coaching staff will evaluate his condition.
Regarding those who finished with discomfort, Adrián Sporle suffers from a myalgia in his left foot and Kevin Lomómano’s was just a cramp: both are fit to play. The only one who will be missing is Lautaro Millán, due to the post-gerolateral sprain in his left knee suffered against Vélez.
If nothing unexpected happens, the line-up that the coach would define for the Reds to receive the Gloria would start with: Rodrigo Rey; Federico Vera, Lomónaco, Sebastián Valdéz, Sporle; Iván Marcone, Felipe Loyola; Santiago Montiel, Luciano Cabra, Diego Tarzia; and Gabriel Ávalos.
