Adam Bareiro’s current situation is causing huge concern in the Boca world after his recent surgery to solve his back problems. The Paraguayan striker used his social media to send a heartfelt message to Boca fans, detailing the physical ordeal that kept him off the pitch and outlining the timeline for his long-awaited return.
This half of the season has not been easy at all for the blue-and-gold club when it comes to injuries, and the attack has been one of the areas hit hardest by the constant absences. In this context, the forward had become an important piece for Claudio Úbeda, and Rodolfo Arruabarrena wanted to count on him when building his team, but his body would not allow it.
With the aim of bringing peace of mind and explaining his situation in his own words, the center forward wrote a letter addressed to all Boca supporters. There, he made it clear just how much effort he made in silence so as not to abandon ship during a vital stretch of the season.

"Dear Bosteros. I’m writing to give my version and opinion of everything that happened to me. I’ve been fighting for more than three months with injuries I never had in my career, and today they are keeping me off the pitch, which is where I most want to be," the player admitted.
He went on to explain how his own body forced him to slow down and inevitably undergo surgery. "First I fought against an almost total rupture of the adductor tendon and, just days before returning, a herniated disc appeared, which to this day has no explanation and I’m no longer looking for one. I fought, suffered, and trained with a lot of discomfort for more than a month to be on the pitch with my teammates as soon as possible and to enjoy wearing this beautiful shirt and representing you. Unfortunately, it wasn’t possible, and I went with the last option, which was surgery," he explained with obvious pain.
Looking ahead, the Paraguayan striker added a note of optimism in his statement and promised to come back stronger. "Now, once again, I’m focusing on a good recovery with the love of my family and all of you, with the right mindset for what’s ahead and with great faith in the professionals in charge of my recovery."

Bareiro has not played since May 9.
To close, he stressed: "My biggest dream is to once again enjoy celebrating goals with you and to keep fighting to win titles, which would be an immense joy for everyone! I have no doubt that all of this will pass, and I will enjoy and value much more everything I do, which I love and do with passion every day of my life. Today more than ever, resilient."
The timeline indicates that the Paraguayan center forward could return to action before the end of this year and get back into top physical shape in order to begin summer preseason training alongside the rest of his teammates.

Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s coaching staff no longer has him in its plans for this season and will only be able to count on him at the start of the next one. The striker stressed that he will do everything possible to return as soon as he can. For now, he has already been discharged and will have a period of rest before he can resume physical activity.
