A few hours before starting their participation in the Interleague Tournament, Peñarol lost one of the few major players that was available to face this return to international competition after a decade.
Before the competition began, the club reported that the interior Cristian Scaramuzzino He stopped being part of the team due to “personal issues” and by mutual agreement between the parties; will be removed, which will mean that the squad will be smaller than initially expected.
In this way, for the competition that starts tomorrow, coach Hernán Laginestra will have one more problem in putting together a competitive squad because he will not have many replacements in the paint and will have to play with young players.
The team that will finally have to be used for this tournament that begins on Wednesday at 7 pm against Fortaleza de Brasil at the “José Jorge Contte” Stadium of Regatas de Corrientes will be with Victor Fernandez, Lucas Andujar, Gian Luca Rossi, Facundo Tolosa, Devante Wallace, Nicolas Chiaraviglio, Damian Pineda, Ignacio Bednarek and Martin Chapero.
The technical team will be headed by Laginestra, accompanied by his assistants Fernando Malara and Tomás Sirochinsky; the kinesiologist Noe Palacio, the physical trainer Juan Pablo Mazza, the equipment manager: Rodrigo Cattaneo and the team leader Marcelo Cabrera.
They still need to add one more foreigner to the perimeter in this market and now at least one internal player, with the departure of Scaramuzzino. Then they will be added Diamond Simpson, Al Thornton and Federico Marin to complete the team he intends for the National League.
