Ruled out: Contreras misses key U clash against Botafogo
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. University of Chile is playing for everything this Tuesday in Brazil. The Blues face Botafogo to define the passage to the round of 16 of the 2025 Copa defending champions play at home and in front of their fans and must also win to secure their place in the next phase. It will be a real final. The U, the current leader of their group, although only one point above Estudiantes and Botafogo, arrives with some doubts. In part because they come from losing to Deportes Limache, a tough setback in the First Division, although they played almost without starters. And that match also left a loss: that of Rodrigo Contreras. Último entrenamiento previo al partido de mañana ante Botafogo 💪🏼⚽️ — Universidad de Chile (@udechile) May 26, 2025 The striker finished with some discomfort after the match against Limache. Subsequently, it was confirmed that he had a strong muscle contraction in the back of his right thigh. Contreras, however, joined the delegation that traveled to Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, so it was speculated that he could recover to play. However, this afternoon it was confirmed that he is definitely ruled out for this match. "The player is here, he was in the gym with the doctors this morning, but he is out of the match," said Marcelo Díaz, a TNT Sports journalist. Despite being ruled out, Contreras traveled to stay with the squad, as did Matías Zaldivia, who will not be able to play against Botafogo due to accumulation of yellow cards. It is expected that Fabián Hormazábal will play in place of Zaldivia in the line of three, with Maximiliano Guerrero further ahead on that side. In attack, Lucas Di Yorio would go in place of Contreras, in a duo with Leandro Fernández. 📸 RODRIGO ARANGUA - AFP or licensors
