Russo still in hospital, optimism for release, Boca stay silent | OneFootball

The Xeneize coach remains in the clinic by medical order due to a urinary infection. The club has not issued any statement about the situation, and updates are expected this Thursday regarding the possibility of continuing the treatment on an outpatient basis.

Miguel Ángel Russo is still hospitalized in the Fleni clinic, a decision made by the doctors because they want to closely monitor his treatment. Until the urinary infection is completely reduced, he will not be discharged, but there is optimism.

The Boca coach spent the night in the clinic for the second consecutive day for better monitoring and ease of combating the bacteria, as his general condition still does not allow him to continue with outpatient treatment. If his condition evolves favorably over the hours, as expected, he could go home this Thursday.

On Wednesday, Russo received a visit from Ignacio, his son, a forward for Tigre. His close circle assures that he is in good spirits and insists on returning home to take charge of the team as they resume training. For the moment, this will not happen, and Claudio Úbeda will continue to lead the group.

Russo spent Tuesday night on an IV, through which he was kept hydrated and administered antibiotics to combat the infection. Cultures determined that it is a rather strong bacteria, so the doctors decided that he should remain at Fleni and not undergo outpatient treatment.

Palacios, from the "very turbulent moments" to this present as a starter at Boca A detail that caught attention is that the club did not issue any official statement or message of support through its social media about the coach's health. The team even returned to training on Wednesday without their coach's presence.

The practice was led by Úbeda and the rest of the coaching staff, consisting of Juvenal Rodríguez, second assistant coach, Adrían Gerónimo and Cristian Aquino, physical trainers, and Cristian Muñoz, goalkeeping coach. They will also be in charge of Thursday's training.

This situation arises after the 69-year-old coach was seen looking unwell in his recent public appearances; in fact, he spent the last two Boca matches sitting without standing up or giving instructions. Visibly tired and lacking energy, everyone hopes that after this hospitalization, his health will improve and he can be discharged in the coming hours.
