The Colo Colo goalkeeper had to leave the field in the first half of the duel against the Millionaires following a hip injury.
Colo Colo could suffer another blow in the Copa Libertadores. In addition to the last defeat against River Plate by 1-2 at the Monumental stadium for the third date of the group stage of the tournament, now the uncertainty is added of whether or not they will be able to count on Brayan Cortés for the duel against Alianza Lima which will be played in another week in Peru .
This is due to the blow received by the Cacique goalkeeper during yesterday’s duel. In the 28th minute, and after a corner, the national goalkeeper went for the ball and emerged victorious with the ball. However, in the fall he showed physical problems, more specifically in the hip area. .
Thus, and after a few minutes of tries, Cortés could not take it anymore and had to be replaced in the 31st minute by Omar Carabalí, who was responsible for defending the goal of Macul’s men for the rest of the game.
This Thursday, after the first evaluations of the goalkeeper, his participation in the next cup duel against Alianza Lima on the fourth date was in doubt.
This duel, scheduled for Thursday, May 5 from 8:00 p.m. in Chile, could be decisive in Colo Colo’s aspirations to reach the knockout stages of the Libertadores. .
Anyway, there is good news. Because this weekend there will be no Premier League football, the goalkeeper may have more days without activity to recover from the ailment that afflicts him.
Recall that with River Plate’s victory over Colo Colo, the millionaire team secured first place in Group F with nine points and is followed by the Cacique with 6 units . Further Fortaleza appears with 3 and Alianza Lima closes the classification without points.
