Agustín Marchesín injury confirmed: out of Superclásico and Copa start | OneFootball

Agustín Marchesín suffered a muscle injury that will rule him out of the Superclásico and the first Copa Libertadores matches. Boca’s goalkeeper will need several weeks to recover at a key point in the season.

Boca released the official medical report following the tests the goalkeeper underwent after the match against Instituto, where he picked up the injury. The Xeneize No. 1 was unable to finish the match, which the team won 2-0 with goals from Tomás Aranda and Adam Bareiro.

The goalkeeper’s injury occurred near the end of the match against La Gloria, when he felt a muscle pull in his adductor that immediately raised alarm bells. He was treated at the time and continued on the pitch for a few more minutes, although he was clearly in pain, until he ultimately had to leave the field. Leandro Brey came on in his place.

Agustín Marchesín will miss several matches.

This injury will cause Agustín Marchesín to miss several important matches because it comes at a crucial point in the season. The first match he will miss is against Talleres, but he also will not be available for the start of the Copa Libertadores against Universidad Católica. Likewise, he will also miss the Superclásico against River.

Agustín Marchesín’s replacement

Claudio Úbeda has two goalkeepers available to take his place: he can choose between youth and experience. Leandro Brey is the one with the best chance of keeping the spot because he is currently second in the pecking order. But Sifón can also rely on the experience of Javier García, which could be decisive in the Copa.

Leandro Brey, the leading candidate to take over in goal.

The coach will have to decide whether to give Brey the responsibility and trust or opt for García, who has not played in a long time and was close to leaving the club; retirement was even discussed.
