The River Plate coach, Martín Demichelis, gave the squad a double rest after the victory against Boca Juniors in the Superclásico facing the next commitment that will be the weekend in Córdoba against Talleres by the Professional Football League (LPF).
The River players will return to training on Wednesday morning at the Ezeiza stadium, in a week without a date for the Copa Libertadores de América and after having played 10 games in just over a month.
Demichelis’s team, which maintains an important difference in the Professional League when 15 dates of the 27 scheduled have been played, must focus its efforts on the group stage of the Cup where it is last in its area.
What’s next for River in the Copa Libertadores
The commitment against Sporting Cristal on May 25 in Lima will be key since he cannot lose if he wants to depend on himself to qualify for the round of 16, since then he will have two home games left in June against Fluminense and The Strongest.
The last defeat in Brazil by 5-1 left River with a goal difference disadvantage against -4 and they need to win all their remaining games to have a chance of going first in the group led by Fluminense with an ideal score.
In any case, before the trip to Lima, River has two commitments in the local tournament against Talleres on Sunday and then against Platense in the Más Monumental on May 21, so DT has time to plan what is to come.
After beating Boca, River’s plan to visit Talleres
For now, this week, the objective will be the fine-tuning of Chilean Paulo Díaz, who has been absent for the last 3 games due to a muscle strain in the left femoral biceps and will return to Talleres.
For this match, the rest of the players will arrive without problems because both Lucas Beltrán, who left the field against Boca due to cramps, and Nicolás de la Cruz with muscle fatigue, will train normally on Wednesday.
Those who will not be in the game will be Elías Gómez, Agustín Palavecino and Ezequiel Centurión who were sent off against Boca.
Lastly, it is expected that Matías Kranevitter will play again over the weekend, who on Sunday went to the substitute bench after the ankle fracture he suffered in December last year in the friendly against Unión la Calera when Demichelis appeared.
