Peñarol faces rising injury crisis in Torneo Clausura

Peñarol is facing a significant injury crisis as the number of muscle-related issues within the squad exceeds 20 cases in 2026. Eduardo Darias is expected to be sidelined for 18 to 20 days due to an adductor tear, missing recent action in the Torneo Clausura.

Other players currently in the medical department include Gonzalo Gelini, Luis Angulo, Diego Laxalt, Facundo Batista, and Jesús Trindade. While Trindade has been cleared to return after a four-month absence, others like Gelini face approximately 16 days of rehabilitation. The high volume of injuries affects Diego Aguirre’s squad during a critical phase of the tournament.
