El Millonario did not start well in the contest, but he has something to celebrate: after eleven months, he is once again a local at the Monumental.
March 11, 2020. River beats Binacional 8-0 for the second round of the Copa Libertadores. Three days later, he decides not to appear to open the Super League Cup at Atlético Tucumán, given the advance of the coronavirus that, a week later, would lead to a quarantine that lasted for more than half a year in Argentina. During those months of inactivity, the leadership decided to face a huge work in the MonumentalIt must have been a local in Avellaneda and now, after almost a year, he returns to a completely renovated home.

THE PROBABLE FORMATION OF RIVER
At the request of Marcelo Gallardo, the Millionaire had an aggressive passing market, in which he added six new faces, while only losing Nacho Fernández among the usual starters. And of the additions, there are two that were cited for the list of concentrates: Agustín Palavecino and Héctor David Martínez. In addition, it recovers Gonzalo Montiel and Nicolás De La Cruz, absent due to injuries.
El Muñeco gave no indication of the possible formation, if he will maintain the scheme with three defenders or return to the line of four. If he finally decides to continue with the same tactic, a possible eleven would be with Armani; Díaz, Rojas or Martínez, Pinola; Montiel or Casco, Enzo Pérez, De La Cruz, Angileri; Álvarez, Borré and Suárez.
THE FORMATION OF THE CENTRAL ROSARY
The bad news of the victory against El Bicho was the Fabián Rinaudo injury, who had to undergo surgery for a ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee and will miss the entire contest. But the outstanding fact was the presence of Marco Ruben in training, with chances to get into the team that Kily González begins to define to travel to Buenos Aires.
