This Wednesday, April 13, Racing de Avellaneda will host, for the second date of the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana, Brazil's Cuiabá. A few days ago the presence of Edwin Cardona was questioned for this meeting, but according to ESPN, the Colombian would be there from the start.
“I think it has a chance to go from the start. I asked if he is ready to play from the start as a starter or complete the 9 minutes. The response was positive. We will have to wait if Fernando Gago ends up putting it or not,” they mentioned from Argentina.
On March 6, Racing faced Talleres for the fifth day of the First Division of the Argentine Super League. The locals took the victory after scoring the only goal of the commitment. For his part, Edwin Cardona, who started as a starter, failed to finish the first half after feeling muscular discomfort.
The Colombian steering wheel had to be replaced at the 24th minute after showing that he suffered a new injury to the right hamstring. As reported by Racing de Avellaneda, the national team's steering wheel had a muscle injury to the right femoral bicep, after being hit by a rival player. After this injury, he missed six games.
Now, last day of the Argentine league, against Platense, the steering wheel returned to play a match and scored the winning goal to stay at the top of group A with 21 points. In this match, Cardona was chosen as the figure of the match after scoring from 11 steps in stoppage time to the final 1-0.
Later, at the press conference, he spoke about the criticism he received about the time he was unable to play because of the injury mentioned. “It hurts the external comments of people who played football. I had to get injured, to see my teammates. I didn't just come here to play or throw everything to me. Here we are a team of 35 players. So I thank all the people who supported me. It is always the same happiness no matter who marks, this is the way. I am very happy to play again and score after being off the courts, something that is very hard for a player,” said the 29-year-old footballer.
