Adam Bareiro’s new injury delays his return to action | OneFootball

Alarm bells are ringing again at the blue-and-gold club because Adam Bareiro has suffered a new physical setback during his recovery. The striker is dealing with severe lower back pain that will force him to begin medical treatment immediately, delaying his return to the group and ruling him out of crucial matches.

The Paraguayan forward had been making good progress from the double muscle tear he suffered on May 11. Boca’s medical staff confirmed that injury is now behind him, but fate dealt him a cruel blow in the final stretch of his rehabilitation. In recent hours, the player felt a sharp pain in his lower back that brought his progress to a sudden halt.

As a result of this unexpected lumbar issue, the footballer could not even join training alongside his teammates. The club’s management and medical staff agreed that the scorer should begin a specific treatment to reduce inflammation in the affected area. This setback is an unexpected headache for Vasco Arruabarrena’s planning, and the club could now move quickly to look for a replacement in the transfer market.

According to initial estimates at the Xeneize clinic, this new recovery period will require at least fifteen days. This forced break completely alters the coaching staff’s plans, as they had hoped to count on his attacking quality for an extremely demanding stretch of fixtures with no room for error.

The matches Adam Bareiro will miss

The immediate impact of this injury will rule the striker out of the July 16 clash against Sarmiento in the Copa Argentina Round of 32. In addition, Boca will not be able to count on him for the tough first leg against O'Higgins in the Copa Sudamericana, scheduled for July 23. These are two crucial matches in which the team needs all of its firepower to advance in both competitions.

The outlook is not encouraging domestically either, as his presence is virtually ruled out for the match against Deportivo Riestra on the 26th of this month in the Torneo Clausura. The big question echoing through the halls of La Bombonera is whether the timeline will at least allow him to be fit for the return leg against the Chilean side, scheduled for July 30.
