Defensa y Justicia have been left shaken after the Argentine top-tier club were robbed at gunpoint on Wednesday.

The violent incident prior to training midweek was confirmed by Defensa - who are based in Buenos Aires - with reports claiming three players were abused.

Lemme added: "We have already seen the images of the security cameras. We will see if we can identify the culprits."

They are scheduled to host Newell's Old Boys on Sunday but the game is not certain to go ahead amid a player's strike claiming unpaid salaries from the league.
