Estudiantes awaits a CONMEBOL decision on Marcos Rojo for the clash with Flamengo

The immediate future of Marcos Rojo in the Copa is still tied to an administrative decision. Estudiantes de La Plata is waiting for a resolution from CONMEBOL to find out whether it will be able to count on the defender for the clash with Flamengo, in a situation that has the club on alert over the review of his registration.

A list that changed within minutes

Rojo had appeared on an initial list of called-up players that the Pincha shared on its social media accounts. However, that post was deleted minutes later and, in addition, the player was removed from the official roster posted on the club’s website.

The situation made it clear that his presence in the competition is still unresolved. The defender’s registration on the good-faith list remains under review while Estudiantes awaits the corresponding authorization.

The club, waiting for the response

For now, the key lies with CONMEBOL. Until that happens, Rojo’s case remains open and the coaching staff cannot take his availability for the match against the Brazilian side for granted.

• Marcos Rojo first appeared on a list posted on social media.
• That post was later deleted.
• After that, the defender was removed from the official roster on the Estudiantes website.
• His registration on the good-faith list remains under review.
• The club continues waiting for a decision from CONMEBOL.

In such a demanding international competition context, every administrative detail can be decisive. For Estudiantes, the outcome of the paperwork will be crucial in determining whether it can add a player of proven quality to its squad for a match of the highest demand.
