With matches against Independiente del Valle and Boca Juniors on the horizon, Marcelo Gallardo hopes to recover the three footballers who are dealing with physical problems.

River Plate faces a more than demanding week: next Wednesday, April 24, they visit Independiente del Valle in Quito for the CONMEBOL Libertadores 2025 and on Sunday, 27, they will host Boca Juniors for the Professional Football League (LPF). In this context, Marcelo Gallardo hopes to recover important players.

In the 'Millonario' infirmary, there are three injured players who aim to return soon: Miguel Borja, Maximiliano Meza and Gonzalo 'Pity' Martínez. According to Renzo Pantich, they all want to be present at the 'Superclásico'.

Miguel Borja had to be replaced and left the field in tears in the 3-0 victory over Gimnasia de La Plata due to discomfort in his right adductor. At first, it was thought to be a tear, but as the hours have passed, he has evolved well and it is not ruled out that he will travel to Ecuador.

Maximiliano Meza, on the other hand, suffered a relapse against Talleres of a patellar tendinitis that has been bothering him for several months. He has not yet been given the all-clear, so he will not travel to Quito, but he intends to be available against Boca next Sunday. This week's training will be key.

Meanwhile, Gonzalo 'Pity' Martínez has not played since March 15 –in the 0-0 draw against Riestra– due to a calf tear that has sidelined him from the last six matches. He will not be part of the delegation going to Ecuador, but he will also do everything possible to be against Boca Juniors.

The rest of the River Plate squad is in optimal condition to face the two key matches that are approaching. Marcelo Gallardo knows that these are vital games for his aspirations.
