River wants to keep the momentum going after the victory against Independiente and tomorrow they will visit Godoy Cruz to climb higher in the standings.

Now then, Marcelo Gallardo gave a big surprise in the list of called-up players with a gem. We are talking about Santiago Lencina, who debuted during Marcelo Escudero’s interim period.

Being a left-footed player with good ball control and incisive play, the Muñeco takes him along following the injury of Matías Rojas, who will miss the next four matches for the Millonario.

On the other hand, it remains to be seen if Gallardo will include him on the bench. Let’s remember that Agustín De La Cuesta, a midfielder from the reserves, was left out of the bench against the Rojo.
