The coaching staff of Rodolfo "Vasco" Arruabarrena will have to modify their plans for the official debut of the semester. Adam Bareiro suffered a discomfort in the lumbar area during the final stage of his rehabilitation and will not be able to join the squad for the match against Sarmiento, which will take place this Thursday at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa in Rosario.
The Paraguayan forward has still not managed to play an official match since the coach's return to the xeneize bench, and this new physical setback will delay his debut once again.
Bareiro was in the final days of recovery from the double muscle tear he suffered against Huracán, an injury that kept him off the field for a large part of the end of the first semester.
That ailment also left him without the opportunity to represent the Paraguay National Team in the World Cup, an absence that was a heavy blow for both the player and the Paraguayan team.
With the goal of returning as soon as possible, the striker even decided to give up his vacation to continue with a special training plan during the break and arrive in optimal condition for the start of the new season.
According to reports, the forward will begin a specific treatment to overcome the lumbar discomfort. Initial studies indicate that recovery would take between five and ten days, provided that the progress is favorable.
During that period, he will remain under the supervision of Boca's medical department, which will assess his progress before authorizing his return to training with the rest of the squad.
