Esequiel Barco, forward for River, suffered a tear in the right femoral biceps in Sunday’s 4-2 victory against Argentinos at the Monumental and will be close to a month without playing, according to medical sources from the millionaire club.
Barco left the field half an hour into the game, replaced by Juan Fernando Quintero, due to muscle discomfort that this Monday was determined to be a tear that will require at least 21 days to recover.
In this way, the former Independiente, who had played all the games of the semester until the previous injury against Boca – he had a strain in his left hamstring – could miss the next 6 or 7 games of the team.
Barco played 10 games at River, scored a goal and was only absent against Defense and Justice, due to the previous injury. If he recovers in three weeks, he would be ready to play again on the last date against Platense, for the League Cup.
On the other hand, the Paraguayan Robert Rojas, who is still hospitalized after the operation to fracture the tibia and fibula and the subsequent coronary spasm that affected him, could be discharged this Tuesday and thus be able to travel to Paraguay, where he will remain in the stage rest of your recovery.
The medical studies of the last 48 hours, after the cardiac complications on Saturday afternoon after the surgical intervention, gave Rojas good results and that is why his medical discharge from the Trinidad clinic is imminent.
With this scenario, the squad trained this Monday at the River Camp in Ezeiza and on Tuesday the squad will be concentrated again to face Fortaleza from Brazil, on Wednesday night at the Monumental for the second date of the group stage of the Libertadores Cup.
