Facundo Colidio is barred from the upcoming semi‑final clash, meaning Vasco da Gama enters the tie against Boca missing a key attacker. Can the Brazilian side adapt without him?
The Argentine striker joined the Brazilian club after a spell at River and quickly became an important option. However, a CONMEBOL rule prevents him from featuring in either leg versus the Xeneize. In my view, his absence dents Vasco’s attacking depth.
His teammate Santiago Sosa revealed how Colidio is coping, sharing a private glimpse of the squad. “Facundo is a River fan. Every day he asks the sporting director if he can play against Boca, but CONMEBOL says no,” the midfielder told Radio La Red.
