San Lorenzo, fifth in Group B, will visit Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero, fourth in Group A, this Saturday in the round of 16 of the Professional Football League's Clausura Tournament.
The match, which will be covered live by the Argentine News Agency, will be held at the Único Madre de Ciudades stadium from 22:00. The referee will be Nazareno Arasa, with Lucas Novelli in charge of the VAR. The broadcast will be on TNT Sports.
Damián Ayude's team comes into the match after a 1-1 draw with Sarmiento de Junín at home in the last matchday of Group B of the Clausura. Despite the institutional crisis, 'Ciclón' managed to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana and was one of the best teams of the year, reaching the round of 16 in both semesters with a squad full of young players.
For this match against 'Ferroviario', the coach will be without defender Daniel Herrera, who was replaced in the 34th minute against Sarmiento de Junín due to a ruptured right knee ligament. The 21-year-old player would be replaced by Colombian Jhohan Romaña, who would return to the first team. Additionally, Ignacio Perruzzi would enter in midfield for his brother Francisco.
The only doubt Ayude would have is in goal as he awaits the return of Paraguayan Orlando Gill, who was the starter in the international friendlies for his national team against the USA and Mexico, and due to a logistical problem with the flight, he has not yet rejoined the training sessions.
For their part, Omar De Felippe's team drew 1-1 with Banfield last Sunday in the last matchday of Group A of the Clausura.
