The League Cup already has 18 cruciate ligament injuries and the Boca doctor warns: "They will continue to break". "Very tight schedule, playing fields in some cases in poor condition, trends in the use of semicircular plugs instead of round plugs, psychological stress," details the renowned traumatologist.
This weekend alone there were three players who suffered the complicated injury. "I already warned about it two weeks ago and no one did anything," says Boca's doctor, Jorge Pablo Batista.
