• Medical staff administered intravenous antibiotics and hydration, and club and family sources describe him as stable and in good spirits.
• Physicians are awaiting test results, including cultures and response to treatment, before confirming discharge and outlining his return-to-work plan.
• Assistant Claudio Úbeda directed Wednesday’s training in Ezeiza during Russo’s absence; Boca’s next game is scheduled for September 14 at Rosario Central.
• Initial messages from close contacts suggested no admission, but later reports confirmed observation, and the club drew criticism for posting about stadium works as the internment became public.
