El Pipa left Avellaneda early in the afternoon due to a worrying adductor discomfort, but the examinations brought peace of mind.
Eleven days before the Copa Libertadores final against Fluminense at the Maracaná, Boca had to fulfill one of its national obligations against Racing for the tenth day of the 2023 LPF Cup.
2023 Copa Libertadores Final: when is it and where?
With his head in Rio de Janeiro, Jorge Almirón arranged an alternative team, although several pieces are important. One of them is Darío Benedetto, who asked for the early substitution.
DARÍO BENDETTO’S INJURY
Pipa felt uncomfortable five minutes into the first half, she didn’t hesitate and decided to go outside. “The adductor,” he would say as soon as he reached the replacement bench.
The order issued by the technical staff as a precaution is that if there is any pain, they will ask for a substitution. The speedy goalscorer iced his leg and after several hours of rest, he underwent 25 tests on Wednesday morning to assess the extent of the condition.
The results, to everyone’s relief, were very reassuring: Benedetto did not have a muscle injury, but simply suffered a “contracture”, according to the club’s medical report.
The attacker will be closely monitored in the coming days and will certainly be retained against Estudiantes on Saturday, so that he can reach the final in the Maracaná without any problems.
