Javier Mascherano had provided the list for the Under 23 National Team, there were four Boca players who had to appear at the Lionel Andrés Messi facility the day after the game against Platense. But in the first training session, Equi Fernández was checked for a discomfort (which took him out of the match against Calamar at halftime) and then he was sidelined, in principle, due to a tear. Or at least that was revealed. That’s why he returned to the club.
The specific thing is that when he appeared in Boca Predio, after that situation, he was reviewed by the xeneizes doctors, that they sent him to do studies and no injuries emerged. Only there was muscle fatigue in his adductor.
What happened in between? Was he injured or not? The reality is that the National Team did not want to risk him suffering a major injury and that is why they decided to have him return to Boca to recover.
Equi broke everything in the Pre-Olympic and earned his place in Paris.
It is true that unlike other players who are fighting for their place to go to the Games, Equi seems to have a guaranteed place. Therefore, he has another margin. The midfielder was one of the figures in the Pre-Olympic with Argentina and has the ticket in his hand. Therefore, Mascherano’s decision was related to this, with not forcing his starting midfielder in the friendlies with Paraguay and perhaps losing him to a major injury.
Will he play with Vélez?
In Tuesday’s talk, the team together with the coaching staff set out to achieve the two victories in the remaining games (Vélez and Almirante Brown). As it is just fatigue and not having any injuries, Equi could be fit for the clash on Friday the 14th, against Fortín, in La Bombonera. The steering wheel will be requested days before to see if it arrives or not, but he has already recovered from that ailment.
The other three train in Ezeiza
Kevin Zenón, in training for the Argentine Under 23 National Team.
Both Leandro Brey, Cristian Medina and Kevin Zenón are training with the Under 23 National Team and preparing for the friendlies against the Paraguay team. Of course, they will be concentrated in Ezeiza until Saturday the 10th when they will play the last game against the Guarani team at the Lanús stadium. Once the match is over, they will be released and will return to Boca to begin preparing for the match against Fortín.
