⚠️Bad news: Boca lose Ascacibar to injury | OneFootball

Club Atlético Boca Juniors has received news that disrupts Diego Martínez's plans for the end of this month. It has been confirmed that midfielder Santiago Ascacíbar has suffered a muscle tear, an injury that will keep him out of official action for an estimated period of at least three weeks.

Race against the clock for the Superclásico

The main concern of the "Xeneize" medical and coaching staff is the recovery of the central midfielder ahead of the most important fixture on the domestic calendar. The main goal is for Ascacíbar to recover in time for the Superclásico against River Plate, scheduled for mid-April.

The recovery plan

The club is aiming for an intensive treatment so that the player can return to match fitness for the clash at the Monumental. During his absence, the coach will have to look for alternatives in the center of midfield to make up for the work rate and defensive presence provided by the former Estudiantes player.
