Carlos Quintana fractures left ankle in Rosario Central v Gimnasia | OneFootball

Rosario Central defeated Gimnasia 3-0 in the 2025 Clausura Tournament, but minutes after the match played in La Plata, they received bad news: the injury of Carlos Quintana.

The Canalla defender had to leave the field at the start of the first half after a heavy collision, and the club reported his condition through a medical report: «Closed luxofracture of the left ankle. Imaging studies were conducted at the Instituto Médico Platense».

«The player will return with the team with ankle immobilization and will undergo new studies in Rosario, in order to schedule his surgical intervention in the coming days», concludes Central's statement.

The play that took Quintana out of the game occurred at 8 minutes when he was left lying on the ground after a heavy head collision with Mateo Seoane. The injury ultimately turned out to be in the ankle, in the fall after the impact.

Quintana is not only a leader and one of the key players in Holan's team, but his absence adds to that of Juan Giménez, also a defender, who is recovering from a «severe sprain with anterior and internal cruciate ligament and meniscal involvement».

The recovery of Pelado, 37 years old, would take at least 4 months, meaning he would miss, at the very least, the rest of the season.

Eventful first half in the Bosque

Quintana left the field at 11 minutes, being replaced by Mallo, but Gimnasia also used two substitutions in the initial stage: Renzo Giampaoli gave his place to Conti at 5′ and Facundo Di Biasi was replaced by Merlini at 40′.

In the case of the central defender, the injury occurred before 2 minutes, during the play of Véliz's goal (the former Boca player was marking him), and initially, it is believed to be a knee sprain, according to local reports. Di Biasi, on the other hand, had to leave the field on crutches and with a splint on his right knee, after a clash with Ibarra.
