Boca Juniors gave the medical part of Carlos Zambrano after injury in Copa Libertadores

The exit on a stretcher from the field before the end of the first half of Deportivo Cali vs. Boca Juniors, for the Copa Libertadores, was not a good sign. Two days after that episode, there is finally a medical report from Carlos Zambrano, who left the field at minute 43 due to an injury.

Said match was played on Tuesday, but only this Thursday, after the corresponding evaluations, the ‘Xeneize’ confirmed the diagnosis. “Grade II injury in the right hamstring”was the information released by the Argentine institution on social networks.

In Ezeiza, upon the arrival of the Boca delegation on Wednesday after their stay in Colombia, ESPN journalist Emiliano Raddi made a statement from Zambrano. “I think I tore myself”the Peruvian anticipated that day, setting off the alarms in the blue and gold team.

Boca stumbled in his debut

Deportivo Cali ruined Boca Juniors’ debut in the 2022 Copa Libertadores by winning 2-0 in Group E, in which Corinthians also started on the wrong foot, while title candidate Flamengo made a strong showing in Lima.

With six trophies in their showcases, the ‘Xeneize’ undertook with a defeat the search for the seventh trophy of the most important club tournament of Conmebol to try to match the seven of Independiente de Avellaneda -absent again- as the top winner of the Libertadores.

In a difficult visit to Deportivo Cali, which they beat in the 1978 Cup final to add their second continental trophy, Boca lost with goals from Guillermo Burdisso (70′) and Jhon Vásquez (80′).
