Boca is going through a sensitive moment both on and off the field. Amid mourning for the death of Miguel Ángel Russo, the club confirmed unfortunate sports news: Alan Velasco suffered a right knee injury and will be sidelined for four to six weeks.
The medical report released by the institution detailed that the attacking midfielder has a medial collateral ligament strain, an ailment that forced him to use a splint to immobilize the area. Velasco, who had started in Boca's most recent matches, had been seen at La Bombonera during the wake of the historic coach, with evident signs of pain.

With this injury, the former Dallas FC player will miss the remaining matches of the regular phase of the Torneo Clausura, a significant blow for a Boca seeking to secure its place in the standings. In his place, all indications are that the coaching staff, led by Claudio Úbeda and Juvenal Rodríguez at least until the end of the year, will opt for Carlos Palacios, who will return to the position he had vacated after his own injury.
When Boca will play again
Xeneize is preparing to return to action this Saturday, October 18, when it will host Belgrano starting at 18:00 in La Bombonera for matchday 13 of the Torneo Clausura. Meanwhile, the match against Barracas Central, suspended due to Russo's passing, will be rescheduled in the coming days.
