Also not called up for this match is Fabián Noguera, the central defender who arrived in the last transfer market to compete for Jonatan Schunke's position and who has only played in two matches so far. He was also not called up against Nacional and Bernardi stated after the match that it was a football decision.
Regarding those who do appear in the list, the absences of Fernando Zuqui (suspended) and Giménez made the coaching staff call Nicolás Talpone and Juan Bautista Cejas, two young players who are looking to earn a spot in the first team.
The list of players called up is composed of: Mariano Andújar, Daniel Sappa (goalkeepers); Facundo Sánchez, Jonatan Schunke, Leandro Desábato, Gastón Campi, Nicolás Bazzana and Lucas Diarte (defenders); Rodrigo Braña, Ivan Gómez, Lucas Rodríguez, Bautista Cascini, Nicolás Talpone, and Jacob Murillo (midfielders); Pablo Lugüercio, Lucas Melano, Juan Otero, Mariano Pavone and Bautista Cejas (forwards). One of them will be left out of the substitutes' bench hours before the match starts at Ciudad de La Plata stadium.
TRAINING AND CONCENTRATION
The Estudiantes professional squad will train this morning at the Country Club and then, the 19 called-up players will be "kept" in the concentration that Estudiantes has in that facility.
Regarding the starting eleven, the only doubt is whether Rodrigo Braña continues in the team or if he rests and is replaced by Iván Gómez. Therefore, the lineup would be: Andújar; Sánchez, Schunke, Campi, Diarte; Cascini, Braña or Gómez, Murillo; Rodríguez, Otero and Melano.
