Overview
- He suffered the injury during the warm-up before Boca’s win over Defensa y Justicia in Florencio Varela.
- Medical tests after the match confirmed a grade-2 tear in his left hamstring, with recovery estimates ranging from at least 21 days to about a month.
- The layoff means he is set to miss Copa Libertadores ties against Cruzeiro in Brazil and Barcelona SC in Ecuador, plus the pending Central Córdoba date and Apertura knockout rounds.
- This marks his sixth confirmed muscle tear since joining in 2025, with local tallies citing seven muscular problems and only 28 appearances from 62 possible.
- He had recently secured steady minutes and even captained the side, so Claudio Úbeda loses an experienced midfield option during a crowded stretch.
