Deportes Tolima and Atlético Mineiro will make their debut on Wednesday in Group D of the Copa Libertadores in a match that will be played at Manuel Murillo Toro Stadium, in the Colombian city of Ibague, where both teams will have to deal with sensitive casualties.
On the side of the hosts, current runners-up in the Colombian league, will not be the injured central Sergio Mosquera and Julián Quiñones, while the winger Juan Camilo Angulo and the goalscorer Juan Fernando Caicedo are doubts.
However, coach Hernán Torres will count on outstanding players such as midfielders Juan David Ríos and Brayan Rovira; wingers Andrés Ibargüen and Jeison Lucumí, and striker Michael Rangel.
Just for this edition, Vinotinto y Oro was reinforced with an eye on making a good Copa Libertadores and dreams of even matching or improving what was done in the 1982 edition, when it reached the triangular semifinal of the continental tournament. He also reached this match in second place in the Colombian league with 29 points, one less than the leader Atlético Nacional.
On the other hand, Galo traveled to Colombia on Monday without three of their key players: veteran central Réver, Uruguayan steering wheel Matías Zaracho and Chilean striker Eduardo Vargas. Nor will the full-back Dodo be there, who continues to recover from surgery and is expected to return to the courts next month.
Despite the absences, Mohamed's team is motivated after winning the Minas Gerais regional championship with a rout over Cruzeiro, a title that is in addition to the title won last month by winning the Super Cup on penalties against Flamengo. Along these lines, some of the figures from Saturday's match are expected to appear, such as striker Hulk, Argentine midfielder Ignacio Fernández and winger Keno.
The main novelty is the reappearance in the call for the Uruguayan international Diego Godín, who returns to the team after his participation with Celeste in the last two days of the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers and after overcoming physical discomfort. Group D, one of the most closely fought in this edition of the Copa Libertadores, is completed by América Mineiro and Independiente del Valle.
