The confirmed return of Luciano Vietto is great news for Racing, which is hoping to become champions of the Recopa Sudamericana. The 30-year-old player, a key piece in Gustavo Costas' scheme, has been decisive for the team, with seven goals in his last ten matches. Vietto, who opened the scoring in the 2-0 victory, is essential for facing the final in Brazil.
The player has been recovering with gym and physiotherapy to be in optimal condition for the match. Although his replacement by Matías Zaracho generated uncertainty, it was not necessary to conduct medical tests, which relieved the Racing coaching staff. Vietto's presence will be crucial as the team must face the final without key players like Agustín García Basso and Santiago Sosa, who are recovering from injuries.
After concerns about a left hamstring injury during the first leg, Vietto has progressed favorably and should be ready for the decisive match in Rio de Janeiro. Racing will look to close the series in Brazilian territory and add a new international title. With Vietto in the squad, the Argentine team aims to win the Recopa Sudamericana and continue its successful path in the tournament.
