A Wednesday of terrible news for River. In the middle of the day of rest that Martín Demichelis gave the team, It was confirmed that Manuel Lanzini suffered a serious injury and he will have to spend some time without stepping on the courts. On the 10th he had already missed last night’s game against Nacional due to trauma to his right foot.
After routine medical tests were carried out, it was learned that the hitch suffered a “small base fracture of the first metatarsal of the right foot”. Pending official confirmations regarding the recovery period, Lanzini must be at least two months without playing (first month with boot and then kinesology). The player’s illness dates back to the friendly a few days ago with Tigre.
What will happen to Lanzini’s future at River?
Without a doubt, it was not the expected semester for Lanzini. After missing almost the entire League Cup due to the tear he suffered in the preseason, the former West Ham player returned to add minutes in recent days although never as a starter: He entered against Huracán, Instituto and 30 minutes in the superclásico with Boca.
He seemed to be getting up little by little and now a new blow of cold water is going to be postponed within the team, with the addition that his contract expires on June 30 and there is still no news on the matter. Lanzini’s entourage recognizes that the footballer wants to stay, but there is nothing concrete yet…
The post of the Lanzini couple
After knowing the severity of the injury, Jennifer Reina, the wife of the River soccer player. She published a photo of the protagonist sitting on the couch with his leg immobilized and the text: “A stumble is not a fall, to get up and start again. “I love you pipi”.
His arrival generated enormous expectations and for now Lanzini was unable to live up to these two injuries that sidelined him practically throughout the semester. It should be remembered that if you do not have a medical discharge on the expiration date of your contract, River is obliged to renew it until you receive it..
