This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here.
Important days are coming for River Plate.
Next weekend, Marcelo Gallardo's team will host Rosario Central led by Ariel Holan at the Monumental, for matchday 11 of the Apertura.
Then, during the week, they will make their debut in the Copa Libertadores 2025, against Universitario in Lima.Although last week the Millonario had to lament a new bad news related to injuries —the tear of Matías Kranevitter was confirmed— there are others who are preparing to leave the infirmary and return to the field this week.
Marcelo Gallardo will have at his disposal, after a while, important players for the team.

Sebastián Driussi, Lucas Martínez Quarta and Matías Rojas, if nothing unusual happens, will be available again for the match against Central.
The first two, who have already completed the expected recovery time from their respective tears, have a chance to get into the starting eleven, although due to the lack of activity, Muñeco may decide to preserve them, thinking about Wednesday's Copa Libertadores match.
Paraguayan Rojas, who had come in as a substitute and is still looking for his place in a very crowded position, also overcame his tear and will surely be an option from the bench.
Another one preparing to return is Giuliano Galoppo. The former São Paulo midfielder started the season as a fixed starter, but after the victory against Lanús at the Monumental, he suffered a strain that has kept him out for 36 days already.

Dunne goes from 19th to second to retake F2 lead
Alex Dunne bounced back from a disappointing weekend in Monaco to retake the Formula 2 lead [Getty Images] Ireland's Alex Dunne has retaken the lead of the Formula 2 standings after going from 19th to second in the sprint race in Barcelona. The 19-year-old McLaren development driver bounced back from a disappointing weekend in Monaco, where he was deemed at fault for a first corner collision and handed a 10-place grid penalty for the next race in Spain. Advertisement Dunne was given a further three-place grid penalty after a pit lane collision with Victor Martins in practice, which meant he started the sprint race from 19th. A strong first lap saw Irishman move up to 14th and Dunne was running outside the points until a late safety car after Prema team-mates Sebastian Montoya and Gabriele Mini came together on lap 17. Dutch driver Richard Verschoor and Dunne pitted for soft tyres, and they cut their way through the pack on the restart. They pair capitalised on their tyre advantage, and Dunne finished the race just 0.3 seconds behind winner Verschoor. Rodin Motorsport driver Dunne now holds a four-point advantage over English driver Luke Browning, who was in contention for the win before the late safety car before he dropped away on older tyres, and Verschoor is now third in the standings. Red Bull junior driver Arvid Lindblad, who was ninth in the sprint, will start from pole position for the feature race at 8:40 BST on Sunday, while Dunne will line up in eighth.

Ángel Di María Returns To Boyhood Club Rosario Central In Argentina
Angel Di Maria of Argentina celebrates after scoring the team's second goal during the FIFA World ... More Cup Qatar 2022 Final match between Argentina and France at Lusail Stadium on December 18, 2022 in Lusail City, Qatar. (Photo by) Ángel Di María, who scored in the final of the FIFA 2022 World Cup for Argentina against France, has returned to his boyhood club Rosario Central. Supporters in Rosario were absolutely delighted to hear the news this week, as the club announced that its biggest ever export would be retuning home to play in the Argentinian league. Now 37 years old, this will surely be the last stop in Ángel Di María's fine career. Fans of Rosario Central cheer the team with smoke bombs prior a round of sixteen match between ... More Rosario Central and Estudiantes at Estadio Gigante de Arroyito on May 10, 2025 in Rosario, Argentina. Every single club in South America has a hero that leaves for pastures new in Europe. Seeking international glory and, of course, a monumental pay rise. Generally, fanbases of those teams will hold a lot of affection for that player, especially if they are successful before they leave. The hope will be that after they make their money and enjoy glory in Europe, that one day they will return again. Finishing a career off like this is never usually the best economic option for a player but it can be their way of saying thanks to their first club or accepting some sort of call of duty to return. Perhaps to help the club financially as well as on the pitch. Neymar's recent move to Santos is a fine example of this return. Neymar won the Copa Libertadores with the club before he went to Barcelona but now he arrives to play for a Santos side that is in a relegation battle. His presence alone has helped drive international coverage and bring in better players. Neymar of Santos celebrates the second goal of his team scored by Tiquinho Soares during a ... More Campeonato Paulista 2025 match between Santos and Noroeste at Urbano Caldeira Stadium (Vila Belmiro) on February 19, 2025 in Santos, Brazil. Gonzalo Montiel recently moved back to River Plate after years in Europe and the majesty of scoring the winning penalty in a World Cup final shoot-out. Radamel Falcao has gone home to Colombia; playing for Millonarios in Bogota and perhaps most spectacularly Óscar Cardozo, who is now 42, has spent almost a decade back playing in his native Paraguay after a decade abroad. Whether it is to their old club or the team they supported as a boy, many latin players tend to hang up their boots at home. For those that have raised children in Europe it is also an opportunity to bring the family home, and of course for many it means another crack at the Copa Libertadores. For Rosario Central the return of Ángel Di María is a dream come true, because the bigger the star the more offers they have to end their career elsewhere. Di María certainly could have moved to the MLS or Saudi Arabia but he decided to bring his family back to Argentina after a career of incredible success in Europe. A kid holding a ball runs past a mural depicting Argentine footballer Angel Di Maria painted in a ... More corner near the Gigante de Arroyito stadium of Rosario Central football club in Rosario, Santa Fe province, some 350 km northwest of Buenos Aires on April 5, 2015. Since he left Argentina in 2007 Di María has been talismanic in international triumphs with Argentina and also won the UEFA Champions League at Real Madrid. The left-footed attacker also won countless titles in France with PSG, as well as league and cup championships in Spain and Portugal, making him one of the most storied soccer players of all time. Rosario Central has been the best team in the 'Liga Profesional' table in Argentina this season, winning 10 and losing just one of their 16 regular season games. However after recent defeat to play-off finalists Huracán; Di María has work to do in the second part of this season if Rosario Central are to enjoy any silverware in 2025. Di María didn't win anything with Rosario before he left. Perhaps a trophy with his home club is the last thing on his football to-do list. Regardless, Di María is still playing at a level where he should make a big impact on domestic football in Argentina. His wand of a left-foot and tricky dribbling will dazzle defences across the country, and he will be applauded by away fans in every stadium after his legendary success with the national team. Di María's good friend Lionel Messi grew up playing for city rivals Newell's Old Boys. The ultimate dream for any Argentine is to see Messi return to play in his home country and just imagine those two international companions facing off in a fearsome Rosario derby. That dream may be unlikely, but is still alive, as Lionel Messi continues to prepare for the FIFA 2026 World Cup playing his club soccer at Inter Miami. Lionel Messi of Argentina celebrates with Angel Di Maria after scoring their team's first goal from ... More the penalty spot during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group C match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia at Lusail Stadium on November 22, 2022
