River Plateimmersed in a phase of irregularity and with the urgency to win to get closer to the top, this Sunday he visits the Independiente, enthusiastic about the return of coach Julio Falcioni in the classic of the twelfth round of the Professional League.
The match will be played from 17:30 at the Libertadores de América-Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium, refereed by Fernando Rapallini and broadcast on television by TNT Sport.
The match will be played with an Independiente audience after Aprevide changed its initial idea of playing behind closed doors after the incidents that occurred at the Avellaneda club headquarters 15 days ago by members and fans upset by the delicate sporting and economic situation of the club, who threatened to continue in the next home game.
In football, Falcioni remains doubtful about the presence in goal of Uruguayan Sebastián Sosa, with a muscle injury, or of Milton Álvarez.
At River there will be changes in defense with the Chilean Paulo Díaz for Emanuel Mammana and Javier Pinola for the injured David Martínez.
In attack, Colombian Miguel Borja, star of the team in the transfer market, will once again be a substitute while Esequiel Barco will take his place.
