Cristian Medina suffered an injury, was disaffected from the Argentine sub 23 team and will miss Boca’s match against Almagro for the Argentine Cup. Will he reach the semifinals against Palmeiras?
The midfielder is a key piece in Jorge Almirón’s team and for this reason he won the call from Javier Mascherano to play a friendly against Bolivia on Saturday. A muscle problem left him out of that commitment and the game that Xeneize will play on Sunday.
The Albiceleste coaching staff decided that Medina should withdraw from the AFA premises in Ezeiza and that he begin his recovery with the Boca doctors, who will carry out studies to determine the severity of the injury.
22 days after the match for the Copa Libertadores against Palmeiras, the club fears that it will be a tear, because in that case it would arrive just (if it recovers) for the first leg at the Bombonera.
Mascherano will not have Medina for these friendly preparations for the big event next January: the Pre-Olympic, the last chance he has to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
