Rodrigo Allendro is still hospitalized. The midfielder del River was hospitalized Sunday evening at Sanatorio Finochietto in Buenos Aires and there he is awaiting medical resolution for the double maxillofacial fracture suffered during the Superclásico with Boca, after the collision with the knee of Alan Varelain the middle of the second half.

Sources from the campus medical staff told Clarín that the goal is for him to be operated on this Monday, at least at the last minute, although for this the planets must “line up” so that the mask to be placed on him appears. . due to the fracture in the orbit and malar on the right side of the face.

Since these are imported materials, authorizations and various administrative steps must be issued for Aliendro to be able to pass through the operating room, where a team specialized in maxillofacial surgery will operate.

What is certain is that Aliendro will miss the rest of the season, where the Millionaire still has two open fronts: the Argentine Cup – which will play the quarter-finals against the Patronato de Paraná – and the Professional League, where after the fall of the Boca started with a little less ground for the decisive third of the championship.

The move that did not repeat itself

Rodrigo Aliendro was one of the bets with which Marcelo Gallardo tried to twist the story at the interval of the Superclásico, but only 25 minutes later he had to leave the pitch. It was a quick game, where he was lying on the grass, required immediate medical attention, and started bleeding. What happened?

The midfielder bounces back on Enzo Pérez to reverse the game and starts a run to try to occupy space in the middle of the field, but after a few steps he trips and can no longer get up.

When he got up and reached the bench with cotton pads in his nostrils, Aliendro already had his boxer’s face stunned: right eye and nose completely inflamed.

This caused Marcelo Gallardo and all his collaborators to protest, but referee Darío Herrera resumed the game. The curious thing is that official television has never shown a repeat of the show.

What happened is that Aliendro tripped and collided with Alan Varela’s left knee, who even limped. “Don’t take me out”, he managed to tell Gallardo, who grabbed him, sat him down and immediately called Agustín Palavecino to enter the field.

Ten minutes later, the game had to be stopped for the injured trolley to cross the field to River’s substitute bench and take Aliendro, who was dizzy, to the locker room, where Boca provided him with his medical equipment to subject him to. a computed tomography.

There it was ascertained that he had a fracture in his right malar and had to be transferred to the Finochietto sanatorium, where Dr. Pedro Hansing – a doctor on the Millonario campus – must assess whether surgery is necessary.
