Terrible news for Boca: Tomás Aranda has broken his fibula | OneFootball

Boca Juniors were dealt terrible news in today’s training session: Tomás Aranda suffered a fracture during the warm-up and could undergo surgery. The midfielder will face several months of recovery.

Alarm bells unexpectedly went off at the Ezeiza training ground during the latest workout. While the squad was carrying out their usual pre-competition movements to begin training, the Xeneize midfielder twisted awkwardly and was forced to leave the pitch. Medical tests confirmed the worst fears: a rupture of the fibular syndesmosis.

The midfielder was injured on his own, without any contact from a teammate, while taking part in the rondo — popularly known as “loco.” The misfortune comes just as the group was preparing to host Lanús this Friday the 28th at La Bombonera, starting at 9:30 p.m., in a match corresponding to the seventh round of the Torneo Clausura.

Aranda suffered a serious injury.

The absence is an unexpected headache for Rodolfo Arruabarrena, who had been solidifying his tactical idea in midfield with Aranda playing a leading role in most of the matches so far. The Xeneize coach thus loses an important piece in his game plan. Now, he will have to quickly rebuild the midfield.

The seriousness of the injury indicates that the footballer will miss a large part of the current season. The timelines set by the blue-and-gold club’s medical department point to a truly lengthy spell on the sidelines. It is estimated that his full rehabilitation will require between four and six months away from the pitch.

Aranda is awaiting the specialists’ final reports to confirm the exact date of his surgery. Once he gets through the operation, the player will begin a demanding physiotherapy process. Everyone at Boca hopes the midfielder comes through this difficult period with strength and returns in top physical condition.

Boca’s injury absences

The run of matches has taken its toll on Arruabarrena’s squad, which has piled up a number of players in the treatment room. Marco Pellegrino, Ayrton Costa, Leandro Lozano, Malcom Braida, Lautaro Di Lollo, Leandro Paredes and now Tomás Aranda are the players who have been injured during this stretch. The World Cup winner is close to returning, as is the center-back who came through the club’s academy. In fact, they could return against Lanús.

Boca’s squad is suffering from injury absences.

In addition, Agustín Marchesín and Rodrigo Battaglia are still recovering from their respective injuries. Both the goalkeeper and the midfielder are coming off lengthy layoffs, but they still have some way to go before they are available.
