Saprissa is navigating roster changes during their Copa Centroamericana quarter-final series. The team faced initial challenges for the first leg against Cartaginés due to the suspensions of midfielders Mariano Torres and Sebastián Acuña, following yellow card accumulations.

While the squad dealt with these absences, attacker Luis Javier Paradela returned to the lineup after serving a three-game suspension. Following a draw against Cartaginés, Paradela noted that his previous dismissal left a ‘bad taste,’ but expressed satisfaction with his return as the team aims to reach the semifinals and qualify for the Concacaf Champions Cup.
