Левый боковой игрок команды Ривер Плейт, Маркос Акунья, suffered tendinitis in his left hamstring just before the match against Атлетико Минеиро in the first leg of the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores. This mishap forced him to be replaced, with Энцо Диас taking his place in the match held in Белу-Оризонти, Бразилия.
During the pre-competitive movements, Акунья felt discomfort in his left hamstring, which led to the decision for his substitution. The incident was reported by the official account of Ривер.
According to the coaching staff, Акунья’s injury will be evaluated to determine the extent and the necessary recovery time. This situation represents a setback for Ривер Плейт at a crucial stage of the Copa Libertadores.
