This is how Miguel Ángel Russo is doing health-wise | OneFootball

The health condition of Miguel Ángel Russo keeps all of Boca on edge. The 69-year-old coach is at home in the Federal Capital, with a state of weakness that has prevented him from leading his team in person in recent days, although he has been in contact with his coaching staff and players.

The coach is on leave and was once again replaced by his assistants Claudio Úbeda and Juvenal Rodríguez during the Xeneize's 5-0 victory over Newell’s this Sunday in the Clausura Tournament. Meanwhile, the team had the following day off.

After the win, Leandro Paredes, Boca's captain, publicly conveyed the team's support for him. “We dedicate the victory to Russo, he is the head of our group and going through this moment is not pleasant. We send him a lot of strength,” he stated.

In tune, Úbeda also mentioned the situation. “We want to dedicate the victory to Miguel, who surely was watching us on TV,” he expressed in the press conference following the victory over the Rosarina Lepra.

“We are in constant contact with Miguel throughout the week, he is aware of all the decisions. We care for him a lot, we want him to get well and we wish him the best,” he added.

Since early September, Russo has been hospitalized for short periods, amidst his ongoing battle against bladder and prostate cancer, which was diagnosed in 2017 while he was coaching Millonarios in Bogotá.
