Without a doubt, the big splash of cold water for Xeneize this week was Edinson Cavani's injury. This adds to the absence of Milton Giménez, leaving big doubts ahead of the most important match of the semester.

Now, the first chance to replace the Uruguayan is the introduction of Exequiel Zeballos in the XI to seek imbalance on the flanks. On the other hand, the second possibility is that Alan Velasco reappears after being marked for missing the penalty against Alianza Lima.

And, the last idea being handled by the coach, is to completely change the scheme and have Ayrton Costa enter. Along with Rodrigo Battaglia and Marcos Rojo, they would form a back three, which is ultimately "Pintita's" preferred scheme.
