Overview

• Russo missed a second straight match and recent training sessions, and Boca officially listed Claudio Úbeda as the coach on the bench against Newell’s.
• Boca’s 5–0 win over Newell’s was publicly dedicated to Russo, with captain Leandro Paredes and Úbeda sending messages of support.
• Recent reporting says Russo was treated at the Fleni institute for a urinary infection and later for dehydration with elevated bilirubin before being discharged to home care.
• The club has not issued a medical bulletin, and coverage broadly characterizes his condition as delicate while some single-source reports use stronger terms.
• Reporting indicates Boca’s leadership has ratified the current coaching staff to run the team at least through the end of the year.
