Peñarol coach Mauricio Aguirre received conflicting news regarding his squad ahead of a key upcoming match. Forward Jona Rodríguez suffered a torn muscle injury, sidelining him indefinitely. However, midfielder “Indio” Fernández will only face a one-match suspension following his recent red card against Central Español. This means Fernández will be available for the clásico, a highly anticipated rivalry game. Aguirre confirmed Rodríguez's injury, representing a significant loss for the team's attacking options. The team will need to adjust its strategy in light of the injury. Fernández’s availability provides a boost, strengthening the midfield.
