Roger Martinez He did not have the best of luck in his call-up with the Colombian National Team for the FIFA double date in October where the tricolor lost with Bolivia and beat Chile.
The forward started in El Alto against the Bolivians after the physical tests with the coaching staff showed a good level in height, but unfortunately he was injured before half an hour of play.
Roger was knocked down by Héctor Cuéllar, who would be sent off, but the blow he made to the attacker did not let him continue and he was replaced by Jhon Córdoba. After this, he had some first tests where his sprained ankle was discovered and for this reason he was called off.
The player returned with Racing Club a few days ago and he had another medical check-up that finally left the bad news for the Academy ahead of the next matches, including the semifinal of the Copa Sudamericana against Corinthians.
And the journalist Tomás Dávila revealed that Roger’s sprained ankle is of a higher degree so he will have to have the area immobilized for a while and will miss a significant number of games.
Although they did not specify the degree of the sprain, they only called it very serious, so his absence would be between 3 to 6 weeks if it is grade II and if it is grade III, which means that the ligaments are compromised, he would be out between 8 to 6 weeks. 12 weeks.
