Estudiantes de La Plata profiles Carrillo's return for Racing final

Estudiantes de La Plata is shaping up a possible formation with the return of Guido Carrillo for the final of the 2025 Torneo Clausura against Racing after overcoming his four-match suspension. The big final of the Torneo Clausura will be a duel to be played this Saturday, December 13, at 21:00 at the Estadio Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero and will have live coverage by Agencia Noticias Argentinas. The forward would serve his suspension and would be available to coach Eduardo Domínguez again after the four matches he was out for the expulsion against Tigre for an elbow to defender Joaquín Laso. In the previous matches, the coach alternated between Facundo Farías and Lucas Alario to cover his absence, but everything indicates that Carrillo would return to the starting lineup to form the attack alongside Edwuin Cetré and Tiago Palacios, the figures of Pincha during the playoff. Domínguez would also maintain the defensive base that beat Gimnasia in the clásico and did not concede goals in the knockout stages. The backline would continue to be made up of Román Gómez, Santiago Núñez, Leandro González Pírez and Santiago Arzamendia. In midfield, the names that were in the close victories against Rosario Central, Central Córdoba and Gimnasia would be repeated: Santiago Ascacíbar, Cristian Medina and Ezequiel Piovi. With this outlook, the probable formation of Estudiantes to face Racing would be: Fernando Muslera; Román Gómez, Santiago Núñez, Leandro González Pírez; Santiago Arzamendia; Santiago Ascacíbar, Cristian Medina, Ezequiel Piovi; Tiago Palacios, Guido Carrillo, Edwuin Cetré.
