In Independiente the bad news doesn’t seem to stop. To the present of irregular football which, consequently, questions the continuity of Leandro Stillitano, we add the serious injuries suffered in the last week by two of his young promises. Rodrigo chili Márquez, 21, has torn a ligament in his left knee and will be out of action for six to eight months.
Marquez’s serious injury joins that of Tomas Pozzo, the 22-year-old midfielder, who also tore his ligaments on Monday. Both players, who started the tournament as starters and have been well appreciated by Stillitano, will be sensitive victims when it comes to putting the squad together.
For Márquez it is not the first time he has faced a situation of this type. Indeed, It will be the third time he has had to undergo surgery for a torn cruciate ligament. in October 2018, when he was playing in the seventh division and had signed his first contract, he injured his right knee. On his return, in September 2019 and after playing 3 games in Reserve, he suffered and had to have surgery again.
Pozzo was one of the first to react to console Márquez. Through a message on his Instagram account, he posted a photo with his partner with a clear message of encouragement. “Stronger than ever, we will overcome another obstacle together like all the previous ones. I have no doubt you will come back better. I love you, my brother”were the words he placed next to a picture of both of them.
