Following the excitement from their recent victory in the Rosario classic, Rosario Central faced disappointing news regarding their star player, Ángel Di María. The club's medical department released an official statement confirming that Di María has sustained a muscle overload in his left adductor, which will sideline him for several of the upcoming matches in the Apertura Tournament. His exceptional performance against Newell's had raised hopes for the team, making this news particularly concerning for fans and management alike.

In addition to Di María's injury, the club reported that Enzo Copetti also suffered a similar muscle injury in the left adductor. These injuries come as a significant blow to Jorge Almirón's squad, impacting the team's offensive capabilities at a critical time during the tournament. With the loss of two key players, the team will have to strategize differently and cope with the potential challenges in maintaining their performance.

Di María's presence was in doubt even before the classic match, exemplifying the challenges of managing player fitness in high-stakes games. As the season progresses, the repercussions of these injuries may influence not only the team's success in the Apertura Tournament but also their planning for future matches and overall squad depth.
