BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - The interruption the World Cup forced on the Libertadores Cup means that San Lorenzo may be without attacking midfielder Ignacio Piatti for the second leg of the final against Nacional of Paraguay.

Nacional host the first leg on Wednesday (0115 BST Thursday) at the Defensores del Chaco in Asuncion where Piatti has permission from his new MLS club Montreal Impact to play for the Argentine favourites.
