Estudiantes’ route to the Copa Libertadores final remains protected by a Swiss court measure, with Marcos Rojo cleared to take part while the wider legal dispute continues. The La Plata club, known as El Pincha, has also resisted an accelerated hearing before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The news from the club
A Swiss judge has already issued a precautionary ruling that permits Rojo to play. That interim decision gives Estudiantes an important safeguard as the case develops around the final.
The club has declined a fast-track procedure at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, preferring not to compress the legal process. Estudiantes believe they have sufficient grounds to defend their place in the Copa Libertadores final and will rely on those arguments as the matter moves forward.
For now, the key practical outcome is clear: Rojo remains eligible under the Swiss precautionary measure, while Estudiantes continue to protect their position in South America’s biggest club match.
