Bad news for Boca: Agustín Marchesín's serious injury confirmed | OneFootball

Boca’s worst fears became reality after the medical tests. The goalkeeper, Agustín Marchesín suffered a serious injury to his right knee and will be out for a long time. The surgery will be performed by the club’s longtime doctor.

What began as major concern on the night of the Copa Libertadores match against Barcelona of Ecuador at La Bombonera ended up becoming the worst possible news for the Xeneize. After leaving the field completely devastated and showing clear signs of pain, medical tests confirmed that Agustín Marchesín suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

The goalkeeper had set off all the alarms when, after an attacking move by the visiting side, he felt a sharp pain that forced him to ask for a substitution, making way for Leandro Brey. The veteran keeper’s tears on the bench had already pointed to a serious situation, which was unfortunately confirmed by the club’s medical staff.

The hard blow for Boca from the goalkeeper’s injury

Because of this serious injury, it was confirmed that Marchesín will be unable to play for several months, ruling him out for the rest of the season. It is an extremely significant loss for the team’s setup, especially on the eve of a packed schedule that includes crucial fixtures, such as the imminent Superclásico against River Plate at the Más Monumental Stadium and upcoming international matches.

The renowned doctor of Boca’s professional squad is a true authority in this type of procedure and has already successfully operated on several players from the club who suffered the same ligament injury.
