Medical update: Cavani ruled out of Central Córdoba clash | OneFootball

Boca confirms the injury of Edinson Cavani. The Uruguayan striker was unable to take part in Thursday’s formal football practice at La Bombonera, and it has been confirmed that he has a muscle injury that will sideline him from this Sunday’s match against Central Córdoba.

The Boca squad completed another training session ahead of the ninth round of the Torneo Clausura, and did so without the presence of the Uruguayan center forward. His absence from the practice held at La Bombonera drew attention, and the reason quickly became clear.

Edinson Cavani suffered a muscle injury. Specifically, Boca’s Medical Department confirmed that the Uruguayan has a strain in his right psoas. This injury will keep him out of the match against Central Córdoba this Sunday, which will kick off at 21:15. His natural replacement would be Milton Giménez.

Cavani will be out for several weeks.

In the practice held at the Alberto J. Armando stadium, Milton Giménez took the spot left vacant on the field. Miguel Ángel Russo tried out a lineup with Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, and Lautaro Blanco in defense. In midfield, Brian Aguirre, Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo Battaglia, and Carlos Palacios remain, while up front were Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez.

Thus, Edinson Cavani will not be able to play in the match against Central Córdoba, and his place would be taken by Milton Giménez to maintain the double striker formation that has become characteristic under this coaching staff, unless a last-minute tactical change is decided.
