Concern in Boca: Carlos Zambrano underwent a medical test

Carlos Zambrano was under observation before the delegation traveled to Brazil to face Boca Juniors vs. Corinthians, match valid for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. What happened to the central defender of the Peruvian team? A physical discomfort prevented him from working normally last weekend.

According to information from the newspaper Olé, the defender suffered a blow during the commitment against Unión last Friday for the Professional League. Later, the player was expelled for the spicy ending with the members of the Santa Fe squad. After all this, the ‘Lion’ reported difficulties with the twins.

So, the ‘Kaiser’ did not train alongside his teammates thinking about moving to Sao Paulo. Thus, Sebastián Battaglia’s technical command ordered that medical tests be carried out to determine the state of the defender. In the absence of knowing the official part, the mentioned newspaper indicated that it is feared that the result will throw a tear.

In any case, Zambrano got on the plane to wait how he evolves in the next few hours. Although the Peruvian did not appear as a starter to face ‘Timao’ (Carlos Izquierdoz, Marcos Rojo are Battaglia’s chosen ones), he is the first alternative handled by the ‘Xeneizes’ DT in case there is something new during the development of the contest.

Headache

If the forecasts for Zambrano are not encouraging, Battaglia will get into big trouble due to the number of casualties in that sector of the field. Beyond the Boca-Corinthians, the ‘blue and gold’ returns to action on Friday, July 1 in the Professional League against Banfield in La Bombonera and would not have enough centrals.

In case the ‘Kaiser’ Zambrano requires more time to return, the ‘Xeneizes’ also do not have Gastón Ávila, who has not renewed his contract. Gabriel Aranda, from the inferiors, did not appear in the recent calls from the coach. Nicolás Figal is injured and needs an operation. While Izquierdoz saw the red against Union, like the Peruvian.
