Campaña to Miss Intermedio Final Between Peñarol and Nacional

Peñarol will be without one of their key players for the Intermedio Final against Nacional. Goalkeeper Martín Campaña, a crucial presence for the aurinegros, has been ruled out due to a knee injury and is currently undergoing treatment in Buenos Aires, according to DSports via reporter Federico Buysan.

Campaña’s absence is a major blow for Peñarol, especially with such a high-stakes clásico on the horizon. His experience and leadership were expected to be vital in a match that captures the attention of the entire country and could define the trajectory of the second half of the season.

The coaching staff, led by Diego Aguirre, is now closely monitoring the status of backup goalkeeper Guillermo de Amores. While they plan to wait until the last moment to make a final decision, optimism is fading. De Amores is dealing with physical discomfort of his own, and his chances of starting are growing slimmer by the day.

If both Campaña and De Amores are ruled out, Peñarol may be forced to turn to a third-choice goalkeeper for one of the most important matches of the year. The pressure of a national final, against their eternal rival, would place immense responsibility on the shoulders of an inexperienced player—a risk that could weigh heavily on the team’s chances.

With the Intermedio title and bragging rights at stake, the uncertainty in goal adds a dramatic twist to a clásico that already promised high tension.
