The Boca Juniors striker has suffered a serious knee injury and will not face Fluminense in the Libertadores final

Exequiel Zeballos was injured during a match against Belgrano, in the Argentine championship

Boca Juniors said striker Exequiel Zeballos suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and torn left meniscus in his right knee. As a result, the player will not face Fluminense in the Libertadores decider.

The company specified that the athlete’s recovery will take place at two different times. First there will be pre-operative rehabilitation, but the case of number seven will require surgery. How long Zeballos will be out has not been confirmed, but the 21-year-old is only expected to return to action in 2024.

In addition to the attacker, Marcelo Saracchi, who plays as a defender and left back, suffered an internal contracture in his right calf in the match between Boca Juniors and Belgrano, in the Argentine championship. As a result, the defender also became a doubt for the final scheduled for November 4.

On the other hand, Fluminense has an almost complete squad to face the Xeneizes, at the Maracanã. Right now, David Braz is recovering from a sprained knee, but no serious injuries have been detected in the veteran.
