River Plate is close to winning the Professional League in Argentina
River Plate is going through a great moment in Argentina and is getting closer to winning the Professional League. However, these could also be Marcelo Gallardo's last days as the coach of the "millonario" team, as there are rumors placing him in the Uruguayan National Team.
Reports from the East inform that the 'Muñeco' is the priority for the leaders of the 'Celeste', and they are already looking to talk to his agent to find out about his demands. Even in a press conference after the 1-0 victory against Platense, Gallardo was asked about Uruguay.
The coach made it clear that he would not touch the subject, but Enzo Pérez, a player from River Plate who suffered a dislocated left elbow and will be out for several weeks, spoke about it.
"It's like when they come looking for us, I think he will make the decision after the tournament. I haven't talked about this with him (Gallardo) because I didn't ask him. Of course, we are all anxious because I am part of River and as a fan, I would like him to stay, but that's a decision he will make with his coaching staff," said the 35-year-old footballer.
Gallardo is the most successful coach in the history of River.
Later, Pérez talked about his injury: "In the afternoon, when I go to training, they will inform me better about what I have, so I am waiting for the doctors to see it and then we will make the best possible decision. I don't know the recovery time. When I asked the doctor on the bench, he told me to forget about the championship."
When and at what time does River Plate play?
Marcelo Gallardo's team will return to action on Thursday, November 25th when they face Racing Club at the Monumental stadium. The match is scheduled to start at 9:30 PM in Buenos Aires.
