Lucas Blondel suffered a right knee sprain with rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament during the classic against San Lorenzo. This serious injury will leave him off the field for several months and for which he will have to undergo surgery. Before the operation, Morena Beltrán, ESPN journalist and partner of the Boca defender, spoke on F90 about the topic.

“We regret what happened to Luquita Blondel, I send her a big hug. More, we send her a hug,” said Sebastián Vignolo at the opening of the program. “It’s very good. It’s very good. These are things that can happen,” Morena responded.

At another point in the program in which the injury play was reviewed, Morena gave some details and shows Ruggeri the moment his knee locked: “She got hooked. Lucas yells at Ferreira because he was next to her. The stopper got stuck in her and she realized when she touched it”.

When asked how the Boca defender was doing, Morena responded: “Lucas is very very positive. He is trying to reassure others, because there is also a family who worries a lot. Part of the family was in Rafaela for Easter and her father was in Switzerland.”

Dr. Batista’s worrying post

“Two weeks ago I uploaded a post that went unnoticed. Very tight schedule, playing fields in some cases in poor condition, trends in the use of semicircular caps instead of round caps, mental stress (everyone has something at stake, relegation, classifying final instances, etc etc), physical fatigue. Argentine soccer is extremely difficult”, this is how the message he posted begins Dr. Jorge Batista, doctor from Boca, on his Instagram account.

But it did not stay there. “The work of the physical trainers is excellent. Although the majority are indirect injuries, I must also highlight that in European football the player is more protected. One or two fouls, yellow and then red. From all this I can think of only one conclusion “I don’t see a quick way out. More and more players will continue to break, this is INEVITABLE.” Thus, in capital letters, he detailed his reckless prognosis on the matter.

And – to top it off – he pointed out: “There are no prevention programs that can be established because the variables to be corrected are many and affect economic interests in many cases. A shame!”, he concluded, in what turned out to be rather a catharsis of his own about of a note that spoke of an “epidemic” of ligament tears.

Blondel’s injury against San Lorenzo

Blondel’s pain.

In his attempt to block Cristian Ferreira’s advance, Blondel’s right knee completely bent and he was left lying on the ground just 16 minutes into the first half. Immediately, They asked for medical assistance for him, unable to move.

Boca’s doctors told Diego Martínez to make the change, since the former Tigre was not in a position to continue. They put him on the cart and, Between tears, the current midfielder left the field. The kid Saralegui entered in his place.

After the end of the match, Boca issued the player’s medical report: sprained right knee with rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament. Within the next 48 hours the MRI will be performed. He will be out of the field for a long time, as is usually the case with this type of injury.

The 42 was beginning to have much more filming on the right side of the Xeneize. With a rigid mark in defense and being sharp when it was his turn to go on the attack, he made the difference for his wing. So far in 2024, he had played seven games in the League Cup and the debut against Central Norte in the Argentine Cup. He scored two goals: the discount in the defeat against Lanús and the great goal that broke the zero against Racing in La Bombonera. If we expand the statistics, since his arrival at Boca in August 2023, he scored two goals before the end of the year.

Blondel’s injury adds to the loan of Chelo Weigandt to Inter Miami. In times of double competition, the lack of a full-back due to injury plays a trick on Diego Martínez, who will have to see how he rearranges the pieces thinking about the Sudamericana debut against Nacional Potosí next Wednesday, April 3.
