Rosario Central: Juan Cruz Komar set for heart arrhythmia surgery | OneFootball

Argentinian football will return this weekend with the start of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. Rosario Central will debut on Saturday against Belgrano at the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito, but the club had to communicate some worrying news just days before the first official match of the year.

Juan Cruz Komar will have to undergo heart surgery for the second time. Through a statement, the Canalla provided details of the operation, which will take place on Thursday in the City of Buenos Aires.

“After cardiovascular studies were conducted, player Juan Cruz Komar was found to have a cardiac arrhythmia. For this reason, the defender will undergo surgery next Thursday, January 22, at the Favaloro Foundation in Buenos Aires,” announced Rosario Central.

Thus, the 29-year-old footballer will be out for the first months of the championship and the Copa Libertadores for Rosario Central. This setback affects his career once again, as it did in mid-2024.

At that time, Komar had everything arranged to continue his professional career as a player for Huracán. However, clinical studies first detected his heart condition. He underwent surgery and missed three months, as well as the transfer to Globo.

Since then, he continued wearing the Rosario Central jersey, where he played 30 matches throughout 2025, being an important piece for Canalla's first place in the Annual Table.
