The team of Fernando Gago, which leads Zone A with 29 points, has already secured its place in the round of 16. In the duel against Eduardo Domínguez's Pincha, they will seek to maintain their lead and arrive with good sensations for the Superclásico in the following round.

This afternoon, the Xeneize released the list of 23 players called up by Gago to host Estudiantes.

The main novelty is the presence of Cristian Lema, after a long period of inactivity. The central defender has not played since October of last year. He first suffered an ankle injury and when he was preparing to return, a tear left him out again.

Regarding absences, it is worth mentioning that of Milton Giménez, who suffered an ankle sprain in the win against Belgrano. He is ruled out against Estudiantes, so Miguel Merentiel or Exequiel Zeballos will enter the starting lineup, while Giménez is also doubtful for the Superclásico.

Juvenile Camilo Rey Domenech was also left out of the call-up and has moved to play in the Reserves.
