Colo Colo Hit With Bad News Ahead of River Plate Clash in Copa Libertadores

Pablo Solari Ruled Out of River Plate Tie After Suffering Injury

Colo Colo has been given a big blow ahead of their Copa Libertadores clash with River Plate on Wednesday. Pablo Solari, the club's leading scorer in the competition, has been ruled out of the match due to injury.

Solari suffered a muscle problem in training on Monday and will not be available for selection against River Plate. The injury is a major setback for Colo Colo, who are already without several other key players.

Colo Colo's Injury Crisis

Colo Colo's injury crisis has left manager Gustavo Quinteros with a selection headache ahead of the match against River Plate. In addition to Solari, the Chilean club is also without the services of Emiliano Amor, Maximiliano Falcon, and Cesar Fuentes.

Amor and Falcon are both defenders, while Fuentes is a midfielder. Their absence will leave Colo Colo short of options in several positions.

Solari's Importance to Colo Colo

Solari has been in excellent form for Colo Colo in the Copa Libertadores this season. He has scored four goals in the competition, including two in the group stage victory over Fortaleza.

The 21-year-old has also provided three assists in the tournament. He is a key player for Colo Colo, and his absence will be a big loss for the Chilean side.

River Plate's Form

River Plate are in good form going into the match against Colo Colo. They have won their last three matches in all competitions, including a 2-0 victory over Boca Juniors in the Superclasico.

River Plate are the defending Copa Libertadores champions, and they will be confident of beating Colo Colo without Solari in the team.
