Alarm bells went off in the Boca world after it was confirmed that Tomás Aranda suffered a severe fracture during morning training. The midfielder will have to undergo surgery in the coming hours, forcing the board and coaching staff to urgently restructure the team.

The sad news shook the Ezeiza training ground during the professional squad’s latest session. While the group was carrying out its routine pre-match movements, the Boca midfielder suffered a bad twist that forced him to leave the field immediately. The medical tests that followed confirmed the worst fears: a rupture of the syndesmosis of the fibula in his right leg.

The misfortune happened without any contact with another teammate. While taking part in the usual rondo during the warm-up, the player’s foot got stuck in the turf and he immediately expressed his pain with chilling screams. The blue and gold club’s medical staff stepped in right away to immobilize the area and assist him as quickly as possible. He was immediately given the corresponding tests, which produced the worst possible result.

Tomás Aranda suffered a fibula fracture.

This major physical setback comes at the worst possible time for the team from La Ribera. The Xeneize were putting the finishing touches on preparations to host Lanús this Friday the 28th at La Bombonera, starting at 9:30 p.m. That match is of vital importance if they are to keep pace with the teams currently in the playoff qualification spots.

How long Tomás Aranda will be out for Boca

The injury is a completely unexpected headache for Rodolfo Arruabarrena, who had been consolidating his tactical idea with the midfielder as a key pillar. The Xeneize coach therefore loses a crucial piece in his setup, just as the team was beginning to show much smoother collective play. Now, the manager will have to look for solutions on the bench to maintain solidity in midfield.

The seriousness of the condition indicates that the player will definitely miss the rest of the current season. The timeline set by specialists points to a recovery period that is as demanding as it is lengthy. His full rehabilitation is expected to keep him off the pitch for between four and six months.

Given this difficult situation, it remains to be seen whether the board will consider looking for a replacement in the market by opening an injury slot. Meanwhile, the squad will close ranks in hopes of dedicating a win to their teammate this Friday against the Granate side.
