The head coach underwent routine check-ups and, at least for now, his presence on the Xeneize bench is not at risk
There was no official statement from the Ribera club, although various specialized media outlets confirmed that the coach is not hospitalized. At a crucial moment in the Torneo Clausura, his presence on the bench is not at risk and the coaching staff is working normally ahead of the upcoming matches.
Beyond the initial scare, the coach is in good condition and awaiting final medical clearance during the day to return to work.
After Boca's victory over Aldosivi at the José María Minella last Sunday, the squad was given days off and will resume training this Wednesday at the Ezeiza facility. The next match will be in two weeks against Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito for the eighth round of the Torneo Clausura.
This match will be crucial as it will not only determine the top spot in Zone A, but also the leading positions in the annual standings for qualification to international cups. In this context, Xeneize is currently second, tied with Canalla and surpassed only by River, and would be qualifying directly for next year's Copa Libertadores.
The morning for Boca began with rumors that set off alarms among the fans. Miguel Ángel Russo was seen at the Fleni clinic in Belgrano, which led to speculation about a possible hospitalization.
However, sources close to the situation clarified that the visit to the clinic was related to routine medical checkups, part of the ongoing monitoring he has undergone for years due to his illness. The historic coach, a champion with Boca and a reference in Argentine football, returned home without complications, bringing reassurance to the squad and supporters.
Meanwhile, it emerged that Russo is dealing with a urinary tract infection, which also prompted his transfer to the medical facility.
