How Boca training sessions went during Russo’s absence | OneFootball

Although the head coach was absent due to his hospitalization, the training sessions continued as usual. The coaching staff, made up of Claudio Úbeda, Juvenal Rodríguez, Adrián Gerónimo, Cristian Aquino, and Cristian Muñoz, were responsible for executing the main coach's remote planning.

After five days hospitalized due to a urinary infection, Miguel Ángel Russo was discharged from the hospital on Friday afternoon and returned home. The Boca coach left the Fleni clinic after the doctors opted for a treatment in the sanatorium to combat the bacteria found in his body. Despite the concern, his mood was always good. Now, how were the team's practices without the main coach?

While the coach was receiving treatment, the team's training sessions continued as normal. Claudio Úbeda, along with Juvenal Rodríguez, Adrián Gerónimo, Cristian Aquino, and Cristian Muñoz (the rest of the coaching staff) took charge of the practices in the absence of the coach, closely following the planning that the coach was managing remotely. The routine was maintained for a team that seeks to consolidate its good moment in the Clausura Tournament.

During his hospitalization, Miguel received several visits. Among them was his son, Ignacio Russo, current forward for Tigre. He was also visited by his assistant coach, Úbeda, who was primarily responsible for leading the Xeneize's training sessions at the Ezeiza complex, maintaining constant contact with the main coach.

Despite the hospitalization and initial concern, the Boca management opted for caution and did not issue any official statement about the coach's health status. The club's authorities closely followed the situation and were aware of every detail of his recovery, but decided to handle the matter with complete secrecy.

The 69-year-old coach returned home and will now continue with his recovery. However, his medical agenda is not yet over: he will have to return to the clinic next Monday to undergo new check-ups and medical controls to ensure that the infection is completely controlled and there is no risk of relapse in order to return to activity at Boca Predio for the coming week.
