The Boca Juniors team suffers a new loss ahead of the upcoming match against Alianza Lima in the Copa Libertadores. Midfielder Ignacio Miramón will be out for at least until the end of February or early March due to a grade II muscle injury in his right quadriceps, which will also leave him out of the confrontation in Lima and the entire series against the Peruvian team.
In the last match against Banfield, Miramón was a starter and played 73 minutes before being substituted, representing a tough blow for coach Fernando Gago, who is already facing numerous absences, such as that of Luis Advíncula due to suspension and the injuries of Tomás Belmonte, Ander Herrera, and Edinson Cavani, among others.
With these losses, Boca will have to rethink its team for the crucial match against Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero in the Copa Libertadores. Coach Gago will need to look for alternatives in midfield, such as turning to players like Camilo Rey Domenech or Williams Alarcón to cover the absences.
While Marcos Rojo recovers from inflammation in his Achilles tendon and Cristian Lema has been left out due to a technical decision, Boca will seek a positive result in Peru to get closer to qualifying for the next phase. The only positive news is the return of Frank Fabra after two absences.
Miramón's injury is particularly concerning for the coaching staff, as the midfielder had recently returned to activity after overcoming a previous injury that kept him out of the first matches of the year.
