Alan Velasco suffers left adductor tear, out for at least three matches | OneFootball

Alan Velasco has suffered a left adductor tear and will be sidelined for at least three matches for Boca.

According to LaNumer12.com.ar, the former MLS player pulled up around the 60th minute of the 3-0 win over Unión de Santa Fe at La Bombonera. He immediately asked to come off, prompting a change of shape.

Velasco will miss the trip to Instituto on matchday 12 of the Torneo Clausura and the matchday 13 meeting with Talleres. He will also miss the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana semi-final against Vasco Da Gama.

Since Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s arrival, the playmaker has earned a prominent role, supplying the creativity the side needed. His absence at this stage is a major headache for the coaching staff.

The medical department will work against the clock with the aim of having him available for the second leg in Rio de Janeiro. If the recovery timeline does not cooperate and they choose not to risk him, his comeback would be delayed to the derby with Independiente.
