Boca Face Goalkeeper Absence as Russo Treats Urinary Infection After Routine Checks

Boca's immediate plan elevates 22-year-old Leandro Brey following Agustín Marchesín's Grade II calf tear, with the coach under outpatient care for a urinary infection.

Overview

  • Boca’s medical department confirmed a Grade II injury in Agustín Marchesín’s right calf/soleus, ruling him out for several weeks and putting the Sept. 14 visit to Rosario Central in serious doubt.
  • Leandro Brey is the leading option to start in goal, with Javier García next and Sergio Romero currently viewed as third choice, according to beat reporting.
  • Marchesín was hurt late in the 2–0 win at Aldosivi; cameras caught him saying “me rompí” before he was replaced by Brey.
  • Miguel Ángel Russo attended FLENI for scheduled checks where a urinary infection was detected; he received intravenous treatment for a few hours, was not hospitalized, and returned home, per multiple reports.
  • Public focus on Russo’s condition grew after images showed him with eyes closed on the bench and ex-assistant Hugo Gottardi said he looks tired and demacrado while dismissing claims he slept, with a FIFA break offering time for monitoring.
