Miguel Ángel Russo's health has once again raised concerns at Boca. The 69-year-old coach was hospitalized on Monday morning at the Fleni clinic for scheduled tests, but doctors decided to administer serum when they noticed signs of weakness, according to what TyC Sports was able to find out. Although the situation caused alarm, the coach was discharged on the same day.

After being present at the match this Sunday night where Xeneize drew against Central Córdoba at the Bombonera by 2-2, the coach had to undergo checks. The squad had the day off, so it was not necessary for Claudio Úbeda and Juvenal Rodríguez, his assistants, to take charge of the practices as happened weeks ago when Russo was hospitalized.

Although he was discharged on September 5, the club chose to give him more days to recover and he only rejoined the practices the following Thursday, in the training that the team carried out at the Bombonera before the trip to Rosario to face Rosario Central.

After that match, the coach expressed his discomfort at the press conference about the rumors that had circulated about his health. "There were many who said nonsense. The one who knows about his health is oneself"
