Cavani to miss Superclásico start

Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani will not start in the Superclásico this Sunday between Boca Juniors and River Plate at La Bombonera. The reason is that the forward is not 100% physically fit. According to reports, coach Claudio Ubeda waited for the last few days, but Cavani «could not have a single training session with the group». The starting attacking duo will be formed by Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez. Cavani «will wait on the bench» and will be an option for substitution in the second half. For this reason, the technical staff decided «not to risk him from the start».
