With cases of covid-19, injuries and suspensions: this is how Junior from Barranquilla arrives at the first leg of the quarterfinals of the South American Cup. The shark, with a tight schedule, receives this Wednesday Coquimbo Unido, from Chile, in search of a ticket to the semifinal.
Prior to the international duel to be held at the Metropolitan Stadium, the newspaper El Heraldo reported that seven cases of covid-19 were presented in the red-and-white institution, after the results of the PCR tests carried out were known. Likewise, it was ensured that of the seven infected, five are players (one of them starts) and two are part of the coaching staff.
As if that were not enough, to the five casualties due to coronavirus, we must add the suspension of Larry Vásquez and Teófilo Gutiérrez, who saw the red in the duel back against La Calera, the absence of Didier Moreno due to covid-19 infection, and the injuries of Luis ‘cariaco’ González and Cristian Higuita.
Now, with a reduced payroll, in which Luis Amaranto Perea only has 18 players, of which three are archers; Junior must ratify his stay in the contest, after eliminating Unión La Calera, via penalties, in the round of 16. His rival, Coquimbo Unido, has just defeated Sport Huancayo with a 2-0 aggregate, so it will not be an easy challenge for the Colombians
Probable lineups
Junior: Sebastian Viera; Marlon Piedrahita, Dany Rosero, Germán Mera, Fabián Viáfara; Edwuin Cetré, Fabián Ángel, James Sánchez, Freddy Hinestroza; Miguel Borja, Michael Rangel or Daniel Moreno.
