Overview
- Sosa attended a match at Flandria’s stadium five days after surgery, wearing gauze on his face and sunglasses over his right eye as he greeted fans for photos.
- He previously said the operation went very well and thanked supporters in an Instagram message as he began his recovery.
- The injury followed an elbow from Marcos Rojo late in Racing’s October 22 first-leg semifinal against Flamengo at the Maracanã, after which Sosa was kept overnight at Hospital Quinta D’Or.
- Reporting indicates surgeons addressed the right malar bone and that the damage appeared to involve the orbital base, which can lengthen recovery.
- Racing has not set a return date and says it will follow medical guidance, while one outlet projects he might be sidelined until 2026.
