Paolo Guerrero is one of the players who has been backed by the coaching staff in recent matches. In fact, in the last match against Newell's, he started and played for 65 minutes under the watchful eye of Fernando Gago.
It is clear that for a high-profile match like a derby, the best players are needed, so Racing is not holding back knowing that they will have a Copa Libertadores match afterwards.
That is why they also chose to once again call up Argentine-Peruvian Catriel Cabellos, who had his first call-up by Gago in the clash against Newell's. However, he failed to get any minutes on the field in what was the 0-1 defeat against the 'leprosos'.
It is clear that Catriel Cabellos is eager to officially debut in Racing's first team. He hopes that the game is appropriate for his long-awaited entry, in order to play alongside one of his idols like Paolo Guerrero.
When is Independiente vs Racing?
The Avellaneda Classic between Independiente vs Racing will be played on Sunday, April 16th at 14:30 Peruvian time (16:30 Argentine time).
