Carrillo will return after four blackout dates / edlp press
Apart from the joy of qualifying for the Clausura final, Estudiantes did not give up and trained yesterday at City Bell Country, where the players did recovery work. The good news for Saturday’s clash against Racing is the return of Guido Carrillo after being suspended four times.
Undoubtedly great news for Eduardo Domínguez and the team, knowing that he had no reference in attack during the playoffs. The historic goalscorer’s last game came on November 9th in a 1-0 defeat to Tigre in Victoria. The striker was shown a red card for an elbow and his penalty was increased for verbal abuse.
As a result, he missed the games against Argentinos, Rosario Central, Central Córdoba and the historic classic with Gimnasia. Carrillo will step in for Lucas Alario on offense.
At the moment and pending weekly training, it is the only variant that is emerging in the eleven, apart from other names in midfield. The good level he showed against Gimnasia satisfied Domínguez, so he is thinking about not playing too much for now.
Apart from Mikel Amondarain being available, the youth player would continue to serve as a substitute due to the good level of Ezequiel Piovi. And at the same time they have Medina, Palacios and Ascacibar in midfield in a great moment.
In addition, the coach has all the players at his disposal, which is very important in a duel of this magnitude. Without a doubt and even with the possibility of an extension, the replacement will be essential due to the wear and tear that this game will bring.
For now, the team is training again today at City Bell to adjust further details before a game in which they will try to become champions of Argentine football again.
VERÓN WILL GO TO THE TAS
The president of Estudiantes, Juan Sebastián Verón, will appear before the CAS to appeal against the six-month sanction imposed on him by the disciplinary court for the Pincha players walking the corridor in front of the Rosario Central with their backs turned.
Verón considers the sanction imposed to be “arbitrary” and will therefore seek to have it lifted and be able to continue carrying out his duties as normal.
It should be noted that on November 27, the court imposed a six-month sanction on Verón, finding him responsible for the actions of the footballers. In addition, the eleven starters that León presented received two blackout dates that will not be observed until 2026.
DOMINGÚEZ was chosen as the best technician of the semi-finals
The Professional League chose Eduardo Domínguez as the best coach of the semi-finals, following Estudiantes’ historic triumph against Gimnasia to advance to the Clausura final. Against this background, Barba stood out as “the best coach of his time” for organizing the tournament, ahead of Gustavo Costas, who scored the goal with Racing against Boca in La Bombonera.
