Alan Rodríguez (Outer ligament problems), Érik Godoy (Hairline crack in the lumbar region), Juan Cardozo (Tear of the lateral meniscus), Nicolás Oroz (Patellar tendon problems), Tobías Ramírez (Torn muscle bundle), Tomás Molina (Muscle injury) and Luciano Sánchez (Knee surgery) won’t be able to feature for Argentinos Juniors gaffer Cristian Zermatten.
