Changuito Zeballos injured, will miss the match against Vélez | OneFootball

After the great victory against Newell’s, Boca is getting ready to face Vélez this Sunday. The Xeneize hopes to secure its first away win in the Torneo Apertura, but will have to do so without Changuito Zeballos. Claudio Úbeda loses one of his key players and adds another absence in the attacking zone.

The Boca forward’s infirmary keeps filling up with names, and Changuito Zeballos, the standout of recent matches, is the latest addition. The native of Santiago del Estero felt a twinge in his hamstring during Wednesday’s practice at Boca Predio, according to information from Marcos Bonocore.

A significant loss for Boca.

The winger underwent medical tests to determine the severity of the injury, although everything seems to indicate that he suffered a muscle tear. If this is confirmed, Changuito will be out for 1 to 3 weeks. For now, it is only known that he will not be part of the match against Vélez, which will take place this Sunday, February 8 at the José Amalfitani Stadium starting at 22:15, as part of matchday 4 of the Torneo Apertura.
