Marcelo Díaz’s replacement options in case the captain cannot play against Palestino

In the next game, University of Chile the top of the game is played First Division National Championship and he will do it by visiting Palestiniandeputy leader of the contest in a key match of the initial round.

But, in the team Gustavo Alvarez The alarms go off, since after the early start against Coquimbo Kingdom, Marcelo Diaz It would be one of the doubts in the blue box for the weekend’s commitment.

The question arises: Who could be the eventual replacements for the captain of the U? There are options, clearly, but the issue will be knowing what the lay strategist is specifically looking for.

For now, on Sunday he entered through Carepato Federico Mateos, who is not a specialist as a central midfielderbut it would contribute what Álvarez likes so much, which is possession and clear exit.

What are the other options?

He would be the most logical replacement for Cello, but for the current coach he is not a central midfielder. We talk about Emmanuel Ojedawho was not even called up in the last game, but at least he would have his chances.

Further back it appears Renato Cordero. The blue youth player, who was about to go on loan to Audax Italiano at the beginning of the season, but it did not prosper. In any case, he has practically not played in the Álvarez era and from finishing as a star in 2023 he became a reserve for the reserves.

And in some way, it adds to this list Matías Sepúlveda. Tucu does not play in that position, he does not feel it, but before Colo Colo When Díaz left, he did so in that position. He ended up with a mesh on the head, but in those endless discounts, he gave the U some outlet in that position.

There is still a week left to first find out if the former Racing player makes it to the game, otherwise one of the names mentioned will have to take on the not inconsiderable opportunity of replacing the captain.
