This provision adopted by the Court is exceptional due to the seriousness of the injury suffered by Zeballos and is contemplated in the regulation, since for uses and customs the player who is expelled in Argentine Cup fulfills the sanction in that same competition and not in those of the usual championships in which it participates.
For this reason, once the sanction has been defined, Leyendeker will have to respect it during the First National Championship in which his team takes part.
El Canguito was operated on this Thursday
Ezequiel Zeballos gives the thumbs up after a successful operation in a San Isidro clinic.
The serious injury suffered by Exequiel Zeballos (20 years old) in the match against Agropecuario in Salta for the Argentine Cup ended with an operation and the beginning of a rehabilitation that will be extensive. And although the competition for this 2022 is over for the Boca youth teams (there are two months left to the end of the championship and the Argentine Cup), at the club, and in the intimacy of the Santiago forward’s family, the priority now is to put oneself to work to return as soon as possible, as soon as possible for the beginning of next year, with the illusion of being able to develop a good part of the preseason 2023.
The attacker was operated on in San Isidro by Dr. Jorge Batista (Head of the Club’s Department of Medicine) for an injury to “distal tibiofibular syndesmosis with deltoid ligament injury and avulsion of the posterior malleolus of the right ankle”, according to what was reported detailed a complete medical and technical part that Boca disseminated. “It’s a serious injury but it could have been even worse. The most complex thing to rehabilitate is the part of the ligament, which is why the foot will be immobilized for several weeks ”, they confided to Clarín of the club, also aware that there are no equal injuries but patients who go through them.
How long do you think it will take for recovery? A minimum of 8 weeks. And from there on, the set-up to reinforce the leg again and then move on to work on the field and the ball. A long way for a player who felt that this season finale would have him with greater participation and consolidation in the team. The club, in fact, had given up on the search for Eduardo Salvio’s replacement because it wanted to give continuity to one of the jewels formed in Boca Predio in recent times and the one that had been forged in the last year between the holdings in the Reserve and also alternating with the first team, both with Sebastián Battaglia and with Hugo Ibarra in the last few games.
