Terrible news for Racing: Valentín Carboni suffers ligament rupture | OneFootball

The forward, who is on loan from Inter, was injured during Friday's practice and will undergo surgery on his right knee.

If Adrián Martínez's injury was bad news for Racing after the 1-1 draw with Independiente Rivadavia, this Monday La Academia continued to face misfortunes: Valentín Carboni tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, he will need surgery and will require a long recovery.

The 20-year-old forward, who joined La Academia in the last transfer window on loan from Inter, has only played five matches with the Avellaneda team and now it remains to be seen if he will return to Italy to rehabilitate in Milan or if he will do so in Argentina.

This is not the first time Carboni has suffered such a severe injury. In 2024, after winning the Copa América with the National Team, he suffered the same injury but in his left knee at Olympique Marseille.

Nicknamed Bebote by the Racing squad as soon as he joined the preseason, he was a starter in the first three matches, against Gimnasia, Rosario Central, and Tigre, but did not manage to show his best form, so he came on as a substitute against Argentinos Juniors and Banfield, and then, against Boca and Independiente Rivadavia, he watched the ninety minutes from the bench.

Maravilla, the other injured player from Racing

At the end of the first half against Independiente Rivadavia, Maravilla Martínez went to press, stepped awkwardly, twisted his ankle, and fell to the ground. The stretcher came in to take him off the field, the player left in tears and La Academia feared a serious injury, especially after seeing the severe swelling in the area.

This Friday, he went for tests and the results indicated that it is a grade two sprain of the left ankle, so he will be out of action for about a month.
