Last-minute change at Boca: Ander Herrera injured in the warm-up | OneFootball

Ander Herrera got injured just minutes before the start of Boca’s match against Defensa y Justicia in Florencio Varela as part of Matchday 16 of the Apertura Tournament. The Spanish midfielder suffered a physical issue during the warm-up and will not be able to play as a precaution.

A major alarm went off at the club from La Ribera just before the away clash against El Halcón was about to begin. During the pre-match movements, the Bilbao native felt discomfort in his left adductor and was quickly attended to by the Xeneize medical staff.

As a result, rather than risk a more serious injury, they decided to rest him and he will not take part in the match at the Norberto "Tito" Tomaghello Stadium. Milton Delgado was chosen by Claudio Úbeda and his staff to join the starting eleven tonight in Florencio Varela.

Milton Delgado replaces Ander Herrera in Boca vs. Defensa.

The match against Defensa y Justicia will kick off at 8 PM, and you can follow it LIVE on La Número 12’s social media.
