Adam Bareiro opts for surgery: when he could return for Boca | OneFootball

Forward Adam Bareiro made the difficult decision to undergo surgery due to a persistent lumbar disc condition that has been causing him major trouble. After trying a nerve block treatment that failed to deliver the expected results, the Paraguayan striker is now focused on making a full recovery ahead of the demanding 2027 preseason.

The ordeal for the Paraguayan attacker began several months ago and does not seem close to ending on the pitch. The pain in his lower back became unbearable, preventing him from training alongside his teammates. With conservative treatments yielding no positive response, surgery emerged as the only viable path to a definitive recovery.

You have to go back to May 9 to find the striker’s last official appearance in the Xeneize shirt. On that fateful day, Boca were eliminated by Huracán in the Round of 16 of the Apertura Tournament. The forward managed to play only 24 minutes before asking to be substituted because of a sharp pain that has kept him off the field ever since.

Adam Bareiro will miss the rest of the year.

Throughout these months, the hallways of the club from La Ribera witnessed an intense effort to rehabilitate him without resorting to surgery. Doctors and physiotherapists evaluated every possible alternative to get the player back and give the board some certainty regarding his sporting future. However, the seriousness of his condition had the final say, forcing a complete rethink of the expected timeline for his return.

When Adam Bareiro could play again

This prolonged inactivity is a massive headache for the coaching staff led by Rodolfo Arruabarrena. The current manager has not been able to count on the Paraguayan since taking charge of the team, losing a highly important attacking piece. Despite the joint efforts of the fitness staff and the coach, the constant setbacks made it impossible for him to rejoin full group training.

Boca’s squad has been hit hard by injuries.

Now, all eyes are firmly set on next year, as the striker is not expected to be fully available again until the start of the 2027 preseason. This lengthy spell on the sidelines will force the club’s leadership to carefully analyze its moves in the transfer market.
