As if Sunday’s coup with Patronato in Paraná had not been enough, Boca accumulated new bad news: after the tests that were carried out, it was confirmed that Marcos Rojo suffered a grade two tear in the soleus and will be inactive for three weeks in which he will miss the matches against Platense, Racing and Rosario Central for the championship and against Agropecuario, next week for the Argentine Cup.
The defender suffered a muscular contracture during the warm-up and as a precaution he was sent to the substitute bench. In his place, Facundo Roncaglia played, who did not have a good performance, but who will now remain as his replacement, although it will be necessary to see what decision the coach Hugo Ibarra adopts before Saturday’s match against Platense in La Bombonera. Another alternative could be the inclusion of Agustín Sandez as a second central defender.
The other injured that worries is Darío Benedetto, who still hasn’t recovered from his sprained left ankle, the second in ten days. If the ailment continues, the medical staff would seek the opinion of a specialist to rule out that it is a ligament issue. Benedetto played for the last time on July 19 against Argentinos Juniors in La Paternal when he came on for Luis Vázquez 28 minutes into the second half.
