Overview
- Meza went down around the 30th minute while trying to receive a cross and there was no contact from a Boca player.
- He left the field in clear pain on a cart at La Bombonera with the match still 0-0.
- Marcelo Gallardo replaced him with Paraguayan midfielder Matías Galarza Fonda before halftime.
- The injury raises concern because Meza had surgery for patellar tendinopathy on the same left knee in July after roughly 140 days out and had only recently returned, including a goal against Talleres.
- River has not released an official diagnosis as medical studies are pending, and any suggestions of a lengthy absence remain unconfirmed.
