Jorge Almirón’s first defeat as Boca DT who would also miss the Superclásico against River

The defeat against Colón isn’t Boca’s only headache. In case he was missing anything else, he added the serious injury of Frank Fabra. The Colombian full-back injured his right knee against Colón and entered the locker room assisted by his team-mates and with tears in his eyes. The corresponding studies were carried out this Monday morning and the medical report was not the most encouraging.

“Frank Fabra right knee medial collateral ligament sprain“, Boca posted on its social networks as a statement from the club’s official medical department. It is the first injury suffered by the coach Jorge Almironeven before formally taking over from Hugo Ibarra.

Although this morning the Colombian entered the room simply walking with discomfort, accompanied by doctor Agremi, the injury suffered will take him away from the courts for at least a month. That is why, barring a miracle, he will not be able to be present at the Superclásico on May 7 at the Monumental stadium.

Similarly, the degree of the sprain is not yet known, so it’s not known exactly how long the 32-year-old will be off the pitch, but it seems confirmed that he will also watch the classics from the outside against Saint Lawrence AND racingadding to the next two dates of the Copa Libertadores, against Deportivo Pereira and Colo Colo.

The left-back had come on in the 66th minute and had to leave in the 81st minute due to this injury which led him to not even be able to run in the final moments on the pitch. He hasn’t had time to generate large attendances, only being chastised in one of the few plays he has stepped in.

Initially, the club was concerned about the existence of a cruciate ligament injury, which Fabra had already sustained in mid-2018. Likewise, the player will miss the brutal series of matches that await Boca every three days or so.
