Alan Velasco injury confirmed: extent and expected time out

Although the topic takes a back seat due to the passing of Miguel Ángel Russo, the injury suffered by Alan Velasco during yesterday's training at La Bombonera has been confirmed. The winger will miss the next match and several more.

Before the news of Miguel Ángel Russo's death became known, the team trained at La Bombonera, where Alan Velasco's injury occurred. The attacking midfielder suffered a blow during the football practice, which caused an injury.

The attacking midfielder was injured during yesterday's training.

Specifically, the former Dallas FC footballer suffered a sprain of the internal ligament of the right knee. For this reason, he was seen during Miguel Ángel Russo's wake, where the entire team was present, with a brace to immobilize the area.

This injury will require 4 to 6 weeks of recovery, so he is ruled out for the next match that Boca has to play. It should be noted that the Professional Football League decided to postpone the match against Barracas Central, which was scheduled for Saturday, due to the death of Boca's head coach.

Without Alan Velasco, who will play in his place?

Until this injury, Velasco was going to continue being a starter in the team in the position he took over due to Carlos Palacios' injury. Now he will have to recover and then fight for the spot again.

Palacios would return to the starting lineup.

The Chilean is already recovered from the muscle injury he had and is fit to play. It is not yet confirmed when the team will play again, but what is certain is that the squad will return to training on Saturday morning.
