Boca Juniors Coach Miguel Ángel Russo Hospitalized for Precautionary Checks After Dehydration

Doctors administered IV fluids with a possible same‑day discharge reported by local media.

Overview

  • Boca confirmed Russo was admitted in Buenos Aires on Monday for new medical checks after the 2-2 draw with Central Córdoba, citing a dehydration episode that left him feeling weak.
  • He went to a clinic for routine tests and was kept under observation as a precaution after receiving intravenous fluids, according to multiple outlets.
  • No detailed medical bulletin had been released by the club at the time of reporting, though evaluations were ongoing to determine if he could leave within hours.
  • Team operations were not disrupted because the squad had a scheduled day off, and assistants Claudio Úbeda and Juvenal Rodríguez were not required to lead a session.
  • The hospitalization follows an early‑September stay at Instituto Fleni for a urinary infection, and comes against the backdrop of his longer‑term health history, including a 2017 prostate cancer diagnosis.
