Racing coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda has made the decision not to include the defender Nazareno Colombo and the forward Santiago Solari in the squad for the match against Banfield. This decision comes after Colombo was responsible for the 2-1 defeat against Argentinos Juniors. Colombo had a chance to clear the ball but instead let it go, allowing Hernán López Muñoz to score the winning goal.
Mateo Martínez, an 18-year-old player, will make his debut against Banfield. The club is also looking for another central defender due to the injury of Marcos Di Cesare. Adrián Martínez, who was suspended for three matches by the AFA Tribunal of Discipline for his expulsion against Argentinos Juniors, will not be playing.
Gastón Lodico, the new reinforcement for Racing, will be on the bench as a substitute. The likely starting lineup for the match against Banfield will be: Facundo Cambeses; Cannavo, Mateo Martínez, Marcos Rojo, Rodríguez; Kranevitter; Tello, Miljevic, Ortegoza; Lautaro Díaz and Conechny.
The next step for Racing is to face Banfield in the upcoming match, with the team looking to bounce back from their previous defeat.
