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

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

The defender of Canalla had to leave the field at the start of the first half, after a hard collision, and the club informed his condition through a medical report: "Closed luxation fracture of the left ankle. Imaging studies were carried out at the Platense Medical Institute".

"The player will return with the squad with immobilization on the ankle and will complete 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 took place at the 8th minute, when he was left lying on the floor after a strong head collision with Mateo Seoane. The injury, ultimately, ended up being on the ankle, in the fall after the hit.

Quintana is not only a reference and one of the figures of Holan's team, but his absence is added to that of Juan Giménez, also a defender, who is recovering from a "severe sprain with involvement of the anterior and internal cruciate ligament and meniscal".

The recovery of the Bald, 37 years old, would require at least 4 months, so he would miss, at least, the rest of the season.

Accident-prone first half in the Forest

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

In the case of the central defender, the injury took place before the 2 minutes, in the play of Véliz's goal (the former Boca marked him), and it would presumably be a knee sprain, according to local reports. And Di Biasi, for his part, had to leave the field with crutches and a splint on his right knee, in his case after locking with Ibarra.
