How Boca training sessions went during Russo’s absence | OneFootball

Although the coach was absent due to his hospitalization, the training sessions continued to be similar. The coaching staff, consisting of Claudio Úbeda, Juvenal Rodríguez, Adrián Gerónimo, Cristian Aquino, and Cristian Muñoz, was responsible for executing the main coach's remote planning.

After five days hospitalized for a urinary infection, Miguel Ángel Russo was discharged on Friday afternoon and returned home. The Boca coach left the Fleni clinic after doctors opted for treatment at the sanatorium to combat the bacteria found in his body. Despite the concern, his mood was always good. Now, how were the team's practices without the main coach?

While the coach was receiving treatment, the team's training sessions continued as usual. Claudio Úbeda, along with Juvenal Rodríguez, Adrián Gerónimo, Cristian Aquino, and Cristian Muñoz (the rest of the coaching staff) took charge of the practices in the absence of the coach, closely following the planning that the coach managed remotely. The routine was maintained for a team looking to strengthen its good form in the Torneo Clausura.

During his hospitalization, Miguel received several visits. Among them was his son, Ignacio Russo, currently a forward for Tigre. He was also visited by his assistant coach, Úbeda, who mainly took charge of leading the Xeneize training sessions at the Ezeiza facility, maintaining constant contact with the main coach.

Despite the hospitalization and initial concern, Boca's management opted for caution and did not issue any official statement about the coach's health status. The club authorities closely monitored the situation and were aware of every detail of his recovery, but decided to handle the matter with complete secrecy.

The 69-year-old coach returned home and will now continue his recovery. However, his medical schedule is not yet complete: he will have to return to the clinic next Monday for new check-ups and medical controls to ensure that the infection is fully controlled and there is no risk of relapse, allowing him to return to activity at Boca Predio for the upcoming week.
