Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata faces injuries ahead of Clásico Platense

Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata is preparing for the upcoming Clásico Platense amid a mix of injury setbacks and strong performance metrics under manager Ariel Pereyra.

Midfielder Facundo Di Biasi has suffered a muscle tear, which is expected to sideline him for approximately three weeks. This marks his second muscle injury since recovering from a serious knee ligament tear. Additionally, Germán Conti is nearing a return to the squad after a month of inactivity due to a muscle injury, potentially competing for a starting position against Juan Cruz Cortazzo.

Under Pereyra’s leadership, the team has achieved a notable start to his tenure. In his first four months, the club has recorded 10 victories and only two defeats. These statistics place the current campaign alongside historic periods in the club's history, specifically the 1929 championship and the 1944 promotion.
