The injuries to Francisco Oliver and Ignacio Tapia open up for Belgrano the possibility of adding two reinforcements for this tournament and the Pirate has already started looking for the players who will replace the injured players in his squad.
After the meeting in Sarandí, there was a small meeting between the coach Guillermo Farré, the Sports Director, Mauro Obolo and some leaders, who agreed on the urgency of hiring a left winger, since with Oliver injured, the team has Lucas Give yourself as the only option.
The second alternative will be analyzed further and will try to achieve what was not achieved in the transfer market that ended in February and would be a right winger who gives him an option for the sector after the return of Maximiliano Comba to Gimnasia de The Silver. Another option in this second addition is a central midfielder that is an alternative to the work that Ariel Rojas is doing today.
Once the injuries are confirmed with a series of imaging studies that began this Monday, AFA is informed of the casualties and from the “house of soccer” 10 days are authorized to finalize the incorporations.
The lesions
Oliver went looking for a ball and was left lying on the grass outside the field of play about 20 minutes into the second half in the game with Arsenal in Sarandí with clear signs of pain in his right knee. The former Tigre, who was playing his first match since the start after Pirata’s return to Primera, locked his right leg in a clearance and his knee ligaments did not resist.
The defender will have to undergo a series of imaging studies and possibly within the next 15 or 20 days he will undergo surgery, which will minimally demand a recovery that will be between six or eight months.
But when it comes to Arsenal, the bad news for the Celeste squad did not end there, or rather began earlier, because on Sunday morning, while the Reserve match was taking place, which ended in a goalless draw, between the Cordoba team and the from Grondona, it was the midfielder Ignacio Tapia who was injured.
“Nacho” like Oliver, suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee and will also have to undergo surgery and as a direct consequence he will miss at least seven months of competition, that is, until the end of 2023.
