River's left-back, Enzo Díaz, underwent surgery for a groin hernia this Tuesday, and there is a possibility that he may miss the rest of the matches this year. Díaz has been suffering from this injury for some time, which forced him to go under the knife, especially after having to step in as a starter in place of Marcos Acuña in several previous matches.
It is estimated that Enzo Díaz's recovery will take at least a month, which would mean he would return to the team during the 2025 preseason, given that River has only five matches left to play in the Liga Profesional de Fútbol. Despite the surgery, it is still unclear what the future holds for the player at the club.
Marcelo Gallardo, River's coach, expressed his interest in having Enzo Díaz continue with the team, but Marcos Acuña has established himself as the starting left-back since his arrival, which adds uncertainty to the situation. Enzo Díaz has a contract with River until December 2026.
Due to injuries at left-back, it is speculated that Gallardo may rely on Milton Casco in the starting eleven for River's next match against Independiente Rivadavia on Thursday, November 21, at 21:30 in the Liga Profesional.
