Chacarita captain Luciano Perdomo is close to leaving intensive care. The 27-year-old has been without an artificial respirator for 48 years.

It is still unknown whether he will have to undergo a maxillofacial operation. The most optimistic believe he could do it by the end of the season. But it is most likely that he will not be able to return to football this year. Chacaritas debut in the 2024 season on Saturday at 5 p.m.
