Vojvoda adjusts Racing's defense ahead of clash with Sarmiento

Summary

Juan Pablo Vojvoda is making defensive adjustments for Racing ahead of their matchup against Sarmiento de Junín, as injuries impact the team's lineup. Juan Barinaga is confirmed out with a muscle injury, complicating options on the right flank. Ezequiel Cannavo is the leading candidate to fill the role, pending recovery from adductor fatigue. Matías Pérez's ankle sprain further limits the backline, prompting Vojvoda to consider a tactical shift to a back three featuring Mateo Martínez, Marcos Rojo, and Gonzalo Escudero.
