For this reason, at 9.00 on Monday, the training will be conducted by the former left-back ‘garnet’ Maximiliano Velázquez, who joined the new coaching staff as a field assistant, along with Pablo Manusovich -another field assistant- and Diego Osses , physical trainer.
While -among the players who must show up with their loans completed on December 31st, there is Pasquini, for whom the club ‘punctured’ did not make use of the option.
They will also be the steering wheel Gastón Lódico, who returns from Aldosivi; defender Kevin Lomónaco, from Platense; and forward Sebastián Ribas, from Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero.
The initial day of the preseason will be focused -mainly on swabs and routine medical tests- at the Lorenzo D’Angelo sports center, where the first works will take place until Saturday 8.
