Santiago Sosa turns on the alarm in Racing. And it starts to get louder and louder. Because what seemed like a simple decision to lower loads and nothing more, turned into worry and uncertainty. Something we warned you about a few days ago. Much more so now that the match against Defensa y Justicia for the Professional League is coming up, but the first head-to-head against Corinthians for the Semifinal of the Copa Sudamericana is just there. A decisive meeting where Gustavo Costas crosses his fingers to be able to count on him yes or yes. So far it is not something that is conclusive, but at least it already has the coach uneasy about what is to come.
The Academy midfielder, who with Gustavo plays much more as a libero that in his natural position, he returned to training differently after the free weekend. He has been practicing this way for almost a week now due to muscle discomfort related to overload.
They assured this portal that there is concern about Santiago Sosa in Racing because the player continues with the load which prevents him from training normally. An issue to follow very closely taking into account the importance that the player has for the team. Once again he worked separately, without demanding too much and thinking more about the duel against the Brazilians than about Saturday’s match at the local level. In fact, at this time there is a good chance that he will not be in that game. Due to this muscular overload, they follow him closely to see if he can be fit to play in San Pablo. For now there is time although it will be important to see how it evolves over the week.
The first indication of Sosa’s problem in Racing was told by Costas
It was the Academy coach himself who referred to the midfielder’s situation. After the defeat against Vélez, in a press conference, he revealed that the player was not well physically.. And obviously it was more than just tiredness because he hasn’t trained with his teammates for a week and we will have to see how he continues these days. Knowing that nothing will be risked against Defense and Justice, it is almost a fact that in the best of cases he will be on the substitute bench.
Santiago Sosa is the Racing player who added more minutes throughout the year. Someone fundamental for Gustavo Costas and who would undoubtedly be a very tough loss thinking about a cup semi-final. Without a medical report and even without details about his work in the official training report, it was only possible to confirm that he does not train normally and that he suffers minimal muscle overload. Something that worries the coach and also the fans…
