Lucas Merolla

ANALYSIS
Merolla achieved a quick recovery from the issue that forced him to leave last weekend's match against Tigres, in which he also delivered his first assist of the season. He's expected to serve as a central defender, perhaps in a three-man back line with both Facundo Ezequiel Almada and Angel Leyva also in the lineup. In that case, Merolla can be relied on mainly for his average of 5.7 clearances per start.
