Injuries continue to complicate Boca at the start of the 2026 season. When it seemed that the squad was starting to recover players, the club confirmed a new loss: Tomás Belmonte suffered a tear and will be off
the courts for several weeks.
Through a statement on its social networks, Xeneize reported that the midfielder has "a grade II muscle injury to the left adductor”. This type of injury usually requires at least three weeks of recovery, although the exact time frame will depend on its evolution
.
In this way, the 27-year-old steering wheel will not only miss the classic against San Lorenzo, but also several commitments on the calendar while undergoing rehabilitation and then set-up to recover the pace of competition.
Belmonte will be out for at least three weeks
Although “Toto” had not started in the last few games, he had added a significant number of minutes so far this year. He played six games, four of them from the start, and was one of Claudio Úbeda's main midfield alternatives. The former Lanús had recently lost his place in the team to Milton Delgado, although he was still a regular replacement part for
the coach.
Boca's medical report also included Ángel Romero. The Paraguayan continues to recover from an adductor muscle injury and is not yet in a position to return to the
squad list.
Romero had already started training partially alongside his teammates in recent days, but the coaching staff decided to lower his loads to avoid a relapse, so it's unlikely that he will be available for the classic.
Ángel Romero will continue to be out At a start to the season marked by physical problems, Boca had up to eight players affected by different injuries, including several players who had to go through the operating room.
In this context, the new loss of Belmonte represents another headache for Úbeda in the face of upcoming commitments
