The raw identity is simple — a young custodian occupying the club’s goal with the profile of a starter-in-training rather than a journeyman — and that framing should guide any appraisal of his season workload and outcomes[^fact-1]. ## Season form Usage has been steady: 19 appearances and 1,694 minutes across the campaign, a workload that indexes as significant for a goalkeeper at this stage of a professional career[^fact-2]. Output in traditional counting stats is necessarily sparse for the position — the season record lists no goals or assists, as expected for a goalkeeper — but the underlying grading from the provider gives a clearer read: Beltrán sits on an average rating of 6.93 across the season, a figure that suggests more positives than negatives in match-by-match contributions[^fact-3][^fact-2]. Across his last five appearances Beltrán has totaled 450 minutes, again with no goals or assists recorded, which simply reflects the role more than any offensive deficiency[^fact-4]. Taken together, the seasonal minutes and the recent block of game time indicate a player who has moved beyond isolated cup appearances into consistent selection over a sustained run[^fact-2][^fact-4]. The near-7.0 average rating implies reliability: not headline-making brilliance, but a baseline performance level that managers can trust to avoid costly errors in most matches[^fact-3]. ## Availability & momentum Availability is straightforward on the supplied record: Beltrán’s minutes show regular selection without gaps large enough to suggest long-term absence, with 450 minutes across his most recent five outings confirming match fitness and ongoing inclusion[^fact-4][^fact-2]. The last recorded match finished as a 1–0 win away at Rosario Central, in which Beltrán registered a 6.85 rating and no attacking contributions — a clean-sheet–adjacent result for a goalkeeper judged slightly below his season mean in that game[^fact-5][^fact-3][^fact-5]. That single-match rating sits marginally under the season average, indicating one performance that was solid but not exceptional relative to his campaign aggregate[^fact-5][^fact-3]. ## What to watch The immediate narrative to monitor is simple: maintain the selection sequence that produced 1,694 minutes over 19 appearances, and see whether the average rating of 6.93 holds or shifts with further exposure[^fact-2][^fact-3]. The last outing’s 6.85 in a 1–0 win at Rosario Central provides a template — a goalkeeper who contributes to results without producing standout statistical flashes[^fact-5]. Attention should focus on whether the minutes-per-appearance trend continues and whether the provider rating moves above that near-7.0 threshold as the run progresses[^fact-2][^fact-3]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 21 years old · Argentina · Goalkeeper · current club River Plate.
