Racing concludes its participation in the group stage of the 2025 Copa Libertadores by hosting Fortaleza at the Presidente Perón Stadium in Avellaneda.The team led by Gustavo Costas is already qualified for the round of 16, although naturally, they aim to secure the top spot in the group, against a Fortaleza that wants to take it from them. For that, the team of Juan Pablo Vojvoda will need to win at the Cilindro.
ℹ️ Luciano Vietto, con un cuadro de sacroileítis, trabajó diferenciado.
— Racing Club (@RacingClub) May 26, 2025
The news this Monday brought bad tidings: Racing reported the injury of Luciano Vietto after Monday's training sessions.
The 31-year-old forward trained separately due to a case of sacroiliitis, an injury affecting the lower part of the spine and the lumbar area.
Thus, his participation in Thursday's match is in doubt.
Vietto is a key player for Costas, but between some injuries and the lack of rhythm they entail, he has experienced a period of ups and downs since his return to the Academy in the middle of last year.
If his absence is confirmed, Vietto would join another significant absence already affecting the team's attack. Maximiliano Salas, affected by a muscular injury, missed the game against Colo Colo and is still in recovery, so Ramiro Degregorio is expected to return as a starter for Racing against Fortaleza.

Real Madrid Arrives In Argentina To Sign Wonderkid, Reports OK Diario
A delegation from Spanish soccer giant Real Madrid is currently in Buenos Aires, Argentina with a view to landing one of the World Cup champion's most highly-rated wonderkids according to OK Diario, whose director Eduardo Inda cited anonymous sources during an appearance on popular television program El Chiringuito. After landing Endrick from across the border in Brazil last summer, Madrid has often been linked to River Plate's Franco Mastantuono, who is also wanted by recently-crowned Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain. Already signing Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold in less than a week after the end of a trophyless 2024/2025 season in terms of major silverware, Los Blancos are also looking to secure one of South American soccer's most talked-up prodigies according to Inda. 'They tell me that emissaries from Real Madrid are in Buenos Aires to try to close the signing of Franco Mastantuono, from River Plate, this week. They will try to close it this week and take it to the Club World Cup,' Inda stated. 'PSG, [Manchester] City and Real Madrid want him. He has dual nationality, Argentine and Italian and does not occupy a non-EU position. Real Madrid's intention is to close it this week and he costs about €45 or €50 million,' Inda added. Unlike players such as Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo and Endrick, Madrid wouldn't have to wait for Mastantuono to turn 18 in order for him to join Xabi Alonso's squad because of the fact he holds an EU passport. Madrid has been linked to the left-footed attacking midfielder for several years, and first began watching him more closely at the U-17 World Cup in Indonesia in late 2023 which was attended by Madrid scouts to also get a better look at others such as Claudio Echeverri. As we know, Echeverri, known as 'El Diabilito' ('The Little Devil') has since joined City and even debuted in the Premier League for the Mancunians', who would love to reunited the former River teammates at the Etihad. Furthermore, PSG, which will not rest on its laurels after thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in the UCL decider and wants to make improvements to Luis Enrique's high-flying side, wants the teenager to one day challenge the likes of Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves and Vitinha for minutes. Just like we've seen with Endrick, Mastantuono, if bought, would be a bet for the future for Real Madrid and graudally worked into the first team fold. Eventually, he'd challenge Arda Guler for minutes on the right hand side of midfield in Madrid's current system, with the Turk taking Rodrygo's spot towards the end of last season before Carlo Ancelotti departed for Brazil.

Duván Vergara in the sights of Racing According to Pipe Sierra, the interest of Racing in the América de Cali winger is real, after rumors grew.

Racing Club qualified for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, to be played in August, and intends to strengthen itself to compete in the continental tournament. It is also said that Racing and América maintain direct contact, without agents or intermediaries, due to the agreement made last year for Juan Fernando Quintero.
