Russo under observation, Úbeda leads Boca training | OneFootball

Miguel Ángel Russo remains under observation and is once again absent from the morning practice of Boca. The 69-year-old coach spent the night in the medical center and throughout the day it will be evaluated whether he will be discharged.

Just like yesterday, the training was led by Claudio Úbeda and Juvenal Rodríguez, who could take over the team against Defensa y Justicia if "Miguelo" cannot be present.

While an official medical report is awaited, according to Double Yellow, the doctors' recommendations will be similar to those given before the clash with Rosario Central, to rest and not manage the match.

It is worth noting that the current “Xeneize” coach went to the sanatorium to undergo the scheduled studies after being discharged last Monday, after being hospitalized for dehydration.

Meanwhile, the “Siphon” leads the practice and would have decided to repeat the same team that just drew against Central Córdoba at La Bombonera. This Saturday, at 7 pm, they will visit the “Hawk” in Florencio Varela with the “Blue and Gold” crowd present.

Russo's hospitalization history

On Monday morning, the 69-year-old coach had been hospitalized in the Fleni clinic for previously agreed checks.

However, the doctors decided to apply serum when they detected signs of weakness, which caused concern in Boca. Despite the initial alarm, the coach was discharged that same day and was able to return to his home.

It should be remembered that, at the beginning of September, Russo had spent a week in the same health center due to a urinary infection that was complicated by his medical history. On that occasion, the coach missed training and was only able to rejoin days later, just before the commitment against Rosario Central.

The coach himself, in a conference after that match, was annoyed by the versions that circulated about his state. “There were many who said nonsense. The one who knows about his health is oneself,” he affirmed at that time.
