Universidad de Chile hosts Deportes Concepción today at the Estadio Nacional with the urgent need to pick up three vital points in the top flight. Argentine manager Fernando Gago has worked intensely with the squad throughout the week, aware that the “Romántico Viajero” needs to bring its worrying run of negative results to an end.
For this challenge, La U will have to cope with several key absences: Nicolás Ramírez, Matías Zaldivia, Israel Poblete, and captain Marcelo Díaz were left out of the squad. On the positive side, Gago gets Marcelo Morales back on the left flank after serving his suspension, and adds freshness to the team with the inclusion of youngsters Elías Rojas and Andrés Bolaño. The Blues will take the field under pressure from their fans to get back on track.
