Rosario Central’s Carlos Quintana Suffers Left Ankle Luxofracture, Set for Surgery

The club expects a season-ending layoff, compounding the earlier loss of defender Juan Giménez.

Overview

  • He was injured around the eighth minute after a head-to-head clash contesting a header and left the field on a stretcher.
  • An ambulance took him to the Instituto Médico de La Plata, where imaging detected a cheekbone impact and significant ankle damage.
  • Rosario Central’s official report diagnosed a closed luxofracture of the left ankle and said surgery will be scheduled following further tests in Rosario.
  • Local coverage reports he is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season, leaving Central with thinner defensive depth following Giménez’s ligament injury.
  • Central beat Gimnasia 3–0 in La Plata, and Ángel Di María dedicated the victory to Quintana with wishes for a swift recovery.
