Lucas Bernardi continues to rehearse variations ahead of the next match, but without two referents who are no longer in discussion to start the year as substitutes, just like Mariano Pavone. They are captain Leandro Desábato and Gastón Fernández. Neither of the two participated in the tactical session held yesterday on the main field of the Country Club, continuing the logic of previous days.

The team that the coach tested in practice yesterday included Matías Ruiz Díaz and Fernando Zuqui, who had not been considered as possible starters on Wednesday. However, it is not confirmed whether they will jump onto the field on Monday, nor what the formation will be.

Yesterday, the formation resembled a 4-1-4-1, with Rodrigo Braña as a defensive midfielder, a second line of midfielders ahead, and only one forward, Juan Otero.

Mariano Andújar; Facundo Sánchez, Jonatan Schunke, Gastón Campi, Sebastián Dubarbier; Braña; Matías Ruiz Díaz, Fernando Zuqui, Gastón Giménez, Lucas Rodríguez; Juan Otero was the team that started in the closed-door training session yesterday.

Mariano Pavone, on the other hand, has already recovered from the muscle overload in one of his calves and will surely be part of the squad that will travel to Avellaneda for the restart of the Superliga. He will be on the bench, just like Gata Fernández and Chavo Desábato.

Bernardi speaks today

After this morning's practice, Estudiantes coach Lucas Bernardi will hold his usual press conference, in which he will focus on the restart of the Superliga and perhaps reveal some more information about the team or the formation that he has in mind. They say that after seeing Independiente's performance in their match against Rosario Central, he wanted to take some precautions.

The reserve team plays the day after tomorrow with Arteaga as a starter

Estudiantes will play their Reserve match the day after tomorrow at 9am at the field of Independiente in Villa Domínico. For this match, one of the new signings for this season, John Arteaga, the Colombian forward who was released from Atlético Nacional de Medellín, may be considered by Leandro Benítez.
