Arab indicated that the idea is to return to the courts in the second round of the Clausura tournament, which begins the weekend; However, he announced that he will not rush the recovery process to avoid relapse and complicate the injury.

The one who is here to play again is Hugo Dorrego. The Uruguayan, who was expelled against Nacional Potosí, served a one-match suspension in the match against Always Ready, for which he was qualified to be in the match against Aurora on September 5 in Cochabamba.

The team, led by Erwin Sánchez, worked this Thursday afternoon and on Friday morning he will do a tactical rehearsal to define the eleventh, which will face the town’s team at the Félix Capriles.

Oriente, with 21 points, is bound to win in Cochabamba if it wants to stay close to the leading pack. He is sixth in the general classification. For its part, Aurora will try to recover from three consecutive losses.
