Russo under observation, Úbeda leads Boca training | OneFootball

Miguel Ángel Russo remains under observation and is once again absent from Boca’s morning practice. The 69-year-old coach spent the night at the medical center and during the day it will be evaluated whether he will be discharged.

Just like yesterday, training was led by Claudio Úbeda and Juvenal Rodríguez, who could take charge of the team against Defensa y Justicia if “Miguelo” is unable to be present.

Although an official medical report is still awaited, according to Doble Amarilla, the doctors’ recommendations will be similar to those given before the match against Rosario Central: rest and not to coach the game.

It’s worth noting that the current “Xeneize” coach went to the clinic for scheduled tests after being discharged this past Monday, following hospitalization for dehydration.

Meanwhile, “Sifón” is leading the practice and has reportedly decided to repeat the same team that drew against Central Córdoba at La Bombonera. This Saturday, at 7 p.m., they will visit the “Halcón” in Florencio Varela with the “Blue and Gold” fans present.

Russo’s previous hospitalizations

On Monday morning, the 69-year-old coach was hospitalized at the Fleni clinic for previously scheduled check-ups.

However, doctors decided to administer IV fluids after detecting signs of weakness, which raised concerns at Boca. Despite the initial alarm, the coach was discharged the same day and was able to return home.

It should be remembered that, at the beginning of September, Russo spent a week hospitalized at the same health center due to a urinary infection that became complicated because of his medical history. On that occasion, the coach missed training sessions and was only able to return days later, just before the match against Rosario Central.

The coach himself, in a press conference after that match, expressed his annoyance at the rumors circulating about his condition. “There were many who said nonsense. The only one who knows about his health is oneself,” he stated at the time.
