The striker returned to play after two and a half months but added just 18 minutes and suffered his fifth tear of the year.
On date 1 of the 2023 League Cup, Boca teed off Platense in La Bombonera in a game where he alternated reinforcements, substitutes and starters. But the night ended with the alarms going off due to an embarrassing situation Luca Langoni was visibly affected after resenting his injury.
WHAT INJURY DID LUCA LANGONI HAVE?
Again, the affected muscle is the right hamstring, in which he has already accumulated four tears of varying degrees, adding up the number of times he suffered. And after conducting the rigorous examinations, the medical staff confirmed that it is a “grade 2 muscle injury”.
The nightmare started on April 12 against San Lorenzo, when he suffered a grade 1 muscle injury in the said area. After recovering, he returned to training, but soon felt pain in the same spot again. New examinations were made and it was discovered that he had edema on the scar which required him to be outside more than he should have been.
When I was about to return, early May before that Colo-Colo in Chile he suffered another tear, but this time in the left quadriceps. Recovery took a little over a month and came back just before the Cacique, but in a normal game action He again suffered the muscle injury that prevents him from being complete.
And on August 18, same thing again, Langoni was peaking to chase a ball on offense when he unexpectedly stopped walking and a worried look appeared on his face. At the end of the game, he burst into tears and was comforted by his teammates.
HOW LONG ARE YOU OUT AND WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK?
With the diagnosis already confirmed, recovery time is estimated to be three to five weeks, so he will miss the series against Racing for the Copa Libertadores and the first dates of the Professional League Cup. However, with the medical staff, they are already starting to think about looking for an alternative to rehabilitation, which may take longer but is effective, since there are four tears in the same muscle in four months.
