Without Cristian Barrios: the 23 called up for Junior vs Palmeiras for Libertadores

Junior Athletic is getting ready to face its first group stage match in the Conmebol Libertadoresin which he will have to measure himself against Palmeiras. The Barranquilla team will not be able to play at the Metropolitan stadium due to the adjustments being made to the stage, so they moved their home to the Jaime Morón León Olympic Stadium in Cartagena.

For this commitment, the main novelty in the red and white team is the absence of Cristian Barrioswho did not travel to Cartagena with the group due to an injury, being the only confirmed absence from the call.

Beyond that absence, Junior will have a strong roster for this debut international, in which names of experience and hierarchy stand out such as Yimmi Chará, Carlos Bacca, Teófilo Gutiérrez and Luis Fernando Muriel, who lead the team’s attack front.

Junior will face Palmeiras in Cartagena in its debut in the group stage, in a key duel to start on the right foot their participation in the continental tournament.
