Argentinos Juniors will face Racing this Sunday in La Paternal, and the Academy team will arrive with a key absence: Matko Miljevic, who suffers from an iliac crest injury and has little chance of starting. The midfielder, crucial in the early stages of Juan Pablo Vojvoda's cycle, was injured in the match against Tigre and continues to experience pain and inflammation.
What happened to Miljevic?
The player was substituted at 13 minutes into the second half in the game against Tigre, where Racing lost 3-1. Since then, he has trained separately, and his participation in the match against Argentinos Juniors is uncertain. If he doesn’t recover, Duván Vergara would be one of the alternatives to replace him.
Why is this important for Argentinos Juniors?
The possible absence of Miljevic, who has performed well and scored a couple of goals, could weaken Racing’s midfield. This represents an opportunity for the Bicho de La Paternal, which will seek to take advantage of any edge at home.
What’s happening with Santiago Sosa?
In addition to Miljevic, Racing is still monitoring the situation of Santiago Sosa, the team’s captain. Although his transfer to Vasco da Gama is close, it hasn’t been finalized yet, so he could be available for the match. However, his departure seems imminent.
What else is affecting Racing?
Baltsar Rodríguez, another Racing player, is also in the spotlight. After not concentrating for the match against Tigre due to negotiations with Estudiantes de La Plata, he will receive a fine, and his participation in the match against Argentinos Juniors is uncertain.
