the route of River On Defense and Justice from Argentine Cup did not leave a full happiness for the damage of Franco Armani. The goalkeeper gave the alarm to Chaco, where he was due to start at half-time and this Thursday it was confirmed that he has a baby tear of the left comb and is in doubt for the Super classic with Mouth.
The pectineus is a thick and powerful muscle capable of strength exercises. Is found in the geometric center of the groin and has a quadrangular or pyramidal shape. It produces strong flexion, adduction and external rotation.
Due to this injury, Armani was excluded for Sunday’s match against Central Barracks and it is not known if he will play against Boca on Sunday 11 September in La Bombonera. A tear from a stroke is quicker to recover according to River’s doctors, but times are scarce. Although it is difficult for it to arrive, in any case, they do not rule it out.
Armani arrived at noon alone at the Rossi Clinic in Abasto to undergo his studies and left aboard his van, which he drove. And if he were without making statements, given the new regulations of the coaching staff, which requires football players not to make statements when they leave medical institutions.
The doorman was calm beyond the severe pain he felt in the Chaco and this forced him to leave at half-time in the match against Defense and Justice and the young Ezequiel Centurión joined him in his replacement. During the first part of the Centenario de Resistencia, Armani suffered a trauma in the groin area that caused discomfort to the left adductor and they decided to preserve it.
The game is quite punctual: in the middle of the first half, Alanís overflows from the right, throws a poisonous cross from the bottom and Andrés Herrera providentially cuts him in the center, but he took the goalkeeper and they both hit each other, due to the fact that the defender comes at full speed and cannot stop. After that, the goalkeeper remained lying on the ground and was assisted by doctors, although he was able to continue.
However, in the interval he continued to have discomfort and on the part of the technical staff – on the recommendation of the doctors – they decided that he should not go out to play the complement, taking into account that the game was under control and that there was no need to take risks for your physical state.
“We will wait to see what the studies that will be done tomorrow (Thursday) say. It was because of a fight with Herrera, they both made themselves heard. We will see how he feels to see how long it takes to recover.” Marcelo Gallardo explained at the post-match press conference on the Armani situation.
This first outing for Armani since he was River goalkeeper it happened just when he made 200 games at the River, a figure that still holds him in third place among the players with the most appearances in the Gallardo cycle, behind Milton Casco (221) and Leonardo Ponzio (213). Until Wednesday night he had always completed 90 minutes. But the day came when he couldn’t do it.
Recovery will now begin. Surely on Sunday he will not be against Barracas Central and they will save him so that, with a lot of kinesiological work, he can reach the Superclásico against Boca. In his favor, the adductor does not complicate the goalkeeper as much as the left one, in his case, since he is right-handed.
