The Strongest will arrive diminished to the party that will hold on Saturday against Vaca Díez for date 14 of the Tigo League. The game must be played from 20:00 at the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz. In this match, the tabbys will have a couple of important casualties, one of them that of their captain and defender Adrián Jusino.
The center-back saw red in the first half in the clash that the tabby fell against Libertad Gran Mamoré, on Sunday in Trinidad, which also meant the loss of the undefeated.
“Now with a cool head, I already put it aside (what happened in Trinidad), obviously at the time I felt very upset because it hurt us and it hurt me personally, these are things that happen, I was aware of what had happened and I knew that it was not for expulsion, now to think about the next game”, said Jusino.
captain tabby now he hopes that his sanction is not two games, since having received a direct red card, it is most likely that he will lose two dates.
“Let’s hope it’s not like that, because fair is fair. For my part, I will continue working. The team is going to have casualties in the defensive part, but we have colleagues who can do it in the same way or in a better way”, he added.
Another player who will miss the clash against Vaca Díez and some more who are coming to Tigre is Paul Arano. The midfielder was injured of the menisci of the right knee and it is a fact that he will not play on Saturday.

Upon returning to La Paz, Arano did the corresponding studies and he was diagnosed with a meniscus injury that, according to the footballer, “is not that serious”, but it is most likely that he will have to undergo surgery to completely overcome the problem.
