Club Atlético River Plate suffers a tough blow with Marcos Acuña's injury Club Atlético River Plate ended the match against Gimnasia with three injured players, but the most concerning is Marcos Acuña. The left-back, key to the team, left the field at the 16th minute of the second half with a muscle issue in his left hamstring. League standing: 14th in Liga Profesional Argentina, 0 pts, 0W-0D-1L from 1 games, recent form LLWWW. ## What happened to Acuña? Acuña, after fighting for a ball on the wing with Steimbach, felt pain in his left hamstring and asked for a substitution. Preliminary studies confirmed a sprain in the joint, which will likely keep him out of the match against Rosario Central this Sunday. ## Why is this serious for River? Acuña's absence is a hard blow for River, as they do not have a natural replacement in the squad. Facundo González, who replaced him in this match, may have to start again at the Monumental. ## Which other players were injured? Besides Acuña, Mauro Arambarri left at halftime with a sprain in his left ankle, and Ángel Correa left with a thigh contusion. However, Correa may be available for the next match.
