Edinson Cavani ruled out against Barracas, Boca release medical update | OneFootball

The Uruguayan, Edinson Cavani, will miss the match against Barracas Central and the club has provided an update on the striker regarding his absence for this match and in recent training sessions with the rest of his teammates.

Through a statement on its official social media, Boca Juniors’ Medical Department announced the condition of the 38-year-old Uruguayan striker after he had trained separately from the group throughout the week.

“The player Edinson Cavani has inflammation of the right psoas bursa, which is delaying his return to training with the group,” was the statement issued by Xeneize to explain the reason for the Matador’s absence for the match Boca will play this Monday against Barracas Central at the Claudio Fabián Tapia stadium.

Cavani continues to struggle with physical discomfort.

Cavani will not be able to play this match, and the coaching staff hopes he can rejoin training after this game, which corresponds to matchday 12 and was rescheduled due to the passing of Miguel Ángel Russo.

At Boca, they believe the Uruguayan striker will be able to return to training during the coming week and be available for the match against Estudiantes de La Plata, which will be played just before the Argentine football Superclásico.
