Valentín Barco, the winger for xeneize, requested a substitution as the epilogue began due to severe pain from an opponent’s kick.
In the first leg of the Libertadores Cup 2023 quarter-finals, Boca Juniors faced a fierce clash at La Bombonera, marked by intensity, controversy, and physical duels. Barco was among those who were struck during the encounter, needing to exit early in the second half after a kick from Tobías Rubio caused significant discomfort.
WHAT INJURY HAS VALENTÍN BARCO
Awaiting the official medical bulletin, journalist Martín Arevalo indicated that Barco’s issue may involve a tear in the quadriceps. The specific status and progression of the injury will depend on forthcoming diagnostic studies and medical assessments to determine how it evolves over time.
HOW LONG ARE YOU OFF AND WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK
As of now, there is no definitive timeline. The injury could sideline the young forward for several weeks. It appears unlikely he will be able to participate in the rematch against Racing next Wednesday. Additionally, he is not expected to be available for the match in Junín this weekend against Sarmiento.
