Driussi doubtful for Sarmiento match due to pubalgia

Forward Sebastián Driussi suffered from a pubalgia and is doubtful for the upcoming River Plate match against Sarmiento de Junín. He was substituted at halftime during the 2-1 victory over Huracán in Parque Patricios. The forward scored a goal at Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium, but it raised concerns within the team led by coach Eduardo 'Chacho' Coudet. The player, formerly of Zenit Russia and Austin FC, has been dealing with a pubalgia for several days, which explains his replacement at halftime. The medical staff has not yet provided details on the recovery timeline, but the player aims to be fit for River's debut in the Copa Sudamericana and the subsequent Superclásico. The coach explained the forward's situation, who opened the scoring against 'Globo': 'Seba comes with a pubalgia and feels pain.' In case of absence, Joaquín Freitas appears as the primary alternative in the attack alongside Ian Subiabre. Additionally, Maximiliano Salas, Agustín Rubert, and Cristian Jaime are options, although the last two were not in the previous squad. Coudet also will not be able to count on Facundo Colidio, who was sent off against Huracán.
