Bad news in Boca: Agustín Marchesín was injured and could miss his Copa Libertadores debut

Boca's victory against Instituto in La Bombonera ended with a bittersweet aftertaste. Despite returning to victory after two consecutive draws, a loss of weight was confirmed: Agustín Marchesín suffered a muscle injury and will be off

the courts for several weeks.

The goalkeeper was annoyed at the end of the match against La Gloria, when the team was already winning 2-0. After being treated in the field, he tried to continue for a few more minutes, although with obvious gestures of pain, until he was finally replaced by Leandro Brey, who

managed to sustain the result.

After medical studies, it was confirmed that he suffered a tear in his right adductor, which will at least marginalize him from the next match against Talleres after the FIFA date.

However, the main concern in Boca is the start of the Copa Libertadores

.

Xeneize will debut on April 7 against Universidad Católica and, with an estimated recovery time of close to three weeks, Marchesín's presence appears to be seriously compromised. Even in a more favorable scenario, he would arrive at the match with just enough, so his participation will depend on developments in the coming days

.

Faced with this scenario, the coaching staff led by Claudio Úbeda is already evaluating Brey as a starter for the next games. The young goalkeeper will thus have a new opportunity to gain a foothold under the three sticks of Xeneize in a demanding stretch of the calendar, which will combine the Professional League with the start of the highest continental competition

.

It should be remembered that the last time the 23-year-old goalkeeper started as a starter was in the match against Gymnastics de Chivilcoy for the 32nd finals of the Argentine Cup, in which he finished undefeated
