Adam Bareiro opts for back surgery, out for the year | OneFootball

Adam Bareiro has decided to undergo back surgery after a persistent lumbar disc problem, ruling him out for the rest of the year.

According to LaNumer12.com.ar, a block treatment failed to bring relief, and the Paraguayan striker will now target full recovery in time for the 2027 pre-season.

His last official outing for Boca came on 9 May, when they were knocked out by Huracán in the Apertura round of 16. He managed only 24 minutes before asking to be replaced due to sharp pain that has kept him out since.

The issue has dragged on for months, with lower back discomfort making full training impossible. After conservative methods failed to deliver improvement, surgery became the only viable route.

The absence is a major headache for head coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena, who has not been able to use the forward since taking charge. Boca’s squad has been badly hit by injuries.

Attention now turns to next year, and the extended lay-off will force the board to scrutinise their transfer moves.
