Vélez's top scorer, Maher Carrizo, may miss crucial Copa Libertadores matches against Racing in September due to potential participation in the U-20 World Cup in Chile. Coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto is considering letting Carrizo join the national team, despite scheduling conflicts. The club might arrange for Carrizo to travel for the World Cup after the Libertadores games, aiming for a balance between club and national duties. The calendar clash poses challenges, reminiscent of past issues with player absence during the Tokyo Olympics.
