River resumes training with its sights set on Atlético Tucumán

River's squad returned to training this Wednesday 9 September with Saturday's match against Atlético Tucumán already on the horizon. The return to practice marks the start of a short week for the team, which will keep fine-tuning details ahead of another round of the Torneo Clausura.

Preparation for the trip to Tucumán

According to the available information, the day's focus was on getting the squad up to speed and on the away fixture ahead. Leonardo Ponzio's side will be back in action in a stage where every point starts to matter more, especially in a competition that leaves little room for outside noise.

In that context, the most concrete development is the resumption of the weekly work with the Saturday clash in view. There were no references in the report consulted to changes in system, nor to confirmed names for the starting XI, so the picture remains open as the week goes on.

Moreno, under observation

Also part of the day's review is the situation of Moreno, who the club is monitoring closely. The verified information only indicates that “how Moreno is doing” is among the latest updates of the day, without further details on his availability, so any conclusion beyond that would be speculation.

• River returned to training.
• The team is preparing for the Saturday clash with Atlético Tucumán.
• Moreno's situation is among Wednesday's updates.
• Work is being done with a new round of the Torneo Clausura in mind.

A context with away fans confirmed

Another important detail in the overall picture is that the match against Atlético Tucumán will feature the visiting supporters. In Argentine football, that decision always adds a particular element to the logistics and to the atmosphere of the match.

Round 9 of the Torneo Clausura 2026 will have away fans in two stadiums, and one of them will be Atlético Tucumán's ground. The other confirmed case is Belgrano, which will have 3.500 localidades to take supporters to Junín against Sarmiento.

That setting adds extra spice to the weekend, on a day that promises movement both on the pitch and in the stands. For River, preparation is already underway and the immediate objective is to arrive sharp for Saturday's commitment.

What comes next

With Wednesday's training session as the starting point, the next step will be to keep a close eye on the squad's progress until the match. In parallel, attention will continue to be on Moreno and on any internal movements that may arise in the next few hours.

For now, the picture is clear: River is back at work, has a confirmed date against Atlético Tucumán and is facing a key week with the need to keep its focus on the Clausura.
