Fresh injury blow for Boca: Tomás Belmonte out for the year

Boca Juniors is dealing with another injured player in the first-team squad. It is Tomás Belmonte, who suffered a serious injury in training this morning, which will require surgery and rule him out for the rest of the year.

The Xeneize midfielder was preparing with the team to host Unión de Santa Fe this Friday at La Bombonera on Matchday 11 of the 2026 Torneo Clausura. During this morning’s training session, which he was taking part in alongside the rest of his teammates, he suffered a blow that alarmed everyone.

The doctors treated him and determined that the pain was due to an injury. After medical tests, it was confirmed that the problem is a torn meniscus in his knee. Naturally, the former Lanús player will have to undergo surgery.

In the coming hours, he will undergo surgery performed by Dr. Batista to begin a recovery process that will take several months. So it is a fact that he will miss the remainder of Boca’s competitive year.

Boca’s injured players

This news is a major blow for the coaching staff led by Rodolfo Arruabarrena, because after several months they were finally able to count on most of the players being available. The latest to return to action had been Camilo Rey Domenech, who recovered from a muscle injury and rejoined the group, leaving only those with longer recovery times sidelined.

The three who were still recovering were Agustín Marchesín, Tomás Aranda, and Adam Bareiro, but now Tomás Belmonte will be added to this list of players Vasco will not be able to count on for the rest of the year.
