Overview
- Adam Bareiro, whose surgery was reported Thursday, opted for an operation on a lumbar hernia after conservative treatments failed and is expected to be unavailable into 2027.
- Tomás Aranda was operated on successfully for a fractured right peroné and will begin a multi-month rehabilitation that will keep him out for the remainder of the year.
- Boca tried lumbar blocks and other non‑surgical therapies for Bareiro before choosing surgery, a decision informed by the prolonged lumbar troubles previously seen with Edinson Cavani.
- The club has already leaned on recent signings and internal options—Enner Valencia, Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez among them—to fill attacking minutes while players recover.
- The twin absences tighten Boca's roster ahead of upcoming Copa Sudamericana and domestic cup fixtures and have prompted the club to emphasize medical caution and institutional support for the injured players.
