Matías Di Benedetto and Emanuel Herrera will not be present in today's match against Mannucci, as both are currently injured. In fact, Universitario recently presented a medical report explaining the details.
PUEDES VER: He left Europe to play for Universitario, but Fossati does not consider him.
"The central defender of the first team, Matías Di Benedetto, presents a sprain in the ankle of his right foot. On the other hand, the forward Emanuel Herrera suffers from plantar fasciitis and talalgia in the left foot. The club's medical staff is providing treatment to both players of the professional squad," the institution said.
Cabe resaltar que Universitario de Deportes has not confirmed how long these players will be out. For now, everything seems to indicate that central defender Marco Saravia will be the one to replace Di Benedetto in the crema defense.
It is important to note that the 30-year-old Argentine defender is indispensable in the scheme of Uruguayan coach Jorge Fossati. On the other hand, the 'Maquinaria' alternated in the first matches of the Clausura, but has not played since the match against Unión Comercio.
