River Plate team news

Defender Lucas Martinez Quarta has been cleared for the Libertad clash after recovering from a medial collateral ligament sprain.

However, Agustin Ruberto, Fabricio Bustos, Maximiliano Meza and Maximiliano Salas will miss the tie due to their own injury issues, while German Pezzella is out for the season with a cruciate ligament injury.

Libertad team news

Goalkeeper Rodrigo Morinigo remains a doubt, so Martin Silva is likely to continue in goal.

Robert Rojas could feature ahead of Ivan Ramirez at right-back, with Ivan Franco as the creative midfielder behind Gustavo Aguilar up front.
