Bad news for Boca and Diego Martínez: Pol Fernández misses the Superclásico

The first symptom was that he could not continue the match against Central Córdoba after medical treatment: a few minutes later, in the 33rd minute of the second half, Guillermo Fernández asked for a substitution. The next symptom was the way he left the stadium: with so much difficulty getting on. And the third arrived this Thursday: Pol He couldn’t even train due to an ankle injury. They did some studies and the results showed no good news.

It is a fact that the Boca midfielder will miss the Superclásico. According to what we learn, Fernández has a serious trauma to his left ankle and is to be ruled out because he would need at least two weeks of recovery. The club has not yet released the official medical report. But previous news is not encouraging.

In any case, it is a delicate loss for Boca, because he is a player who until now has always been a starter for Diego Martínezdespite the resistance of the fans, who booed against Defensa and also against Central Córdoba.

Furthermore, this absence due to injury, which would initially include the matches against Lanús and River, comes immediately after Román’s benching, who chose him as “the best Boca player of the tournament”. The president, even against the opinion of the fans, once again spoke highly of the number 8 and even said that he is the most intelligent player in the team.

When asked why he thought people resisted him so much, Román referred to Pol as the type of player who has difficulty being recognised. “People know he is too good and therefore too much is asked of him. “Sometimes he finds himself in situations where he has to defend his teammate.”he assured.

You have something to replace it with

It is worth saying that this loss of Pol also comes at a time when Equi Fernández returned from Sub 23 and available to the DT to play against Lanús. Also in the middle Martínez recovers Cristian Medina. And against Central Córdoba Jabes Saralegui showed that he is starting to ask for a clue. Therefore, the DT has no shortage of steering wheels to replace it.

Furthermore, to also look at the glass half full, this Thursday Marcos Rojo and Edinson Cavani, the two most experienced of the squad, returned to training, with their eyes set on the key match on Sunday 25th at the Bombonera.
