Following a run of clean sheets, manager Fernando Ortiz has confirmed that Vozinha is expected to start in the upcoming match against Deportes Concepción at the Monumental Stadium. Ortiz noted that the keeper requires more continuity to reach his optimal level after a period of inactivity following the World Cup. This decision is further supported by the unavailability of Gabriel Maureira, who is participating in the Odesur Games, and the limited availability of other options like Eduardo Villanueva and Fernando de Paul due to surgery recovery or lack of recent action. In addition to his on-field role, Vozinha’s future at the club may be secured by a contract clause that could trigger an automatic renewal, potentially extending his stay through the 2027 season.
