Another blow for Guillermo: after losing the three starting Colombian players, in the friendly against Aldosivi, Pablo Pérez also suffered an injury and had to be replaced. The medical report from Boca determined a left soleus strain.
The former Newell's midfielder felt pain in his right calf in the first half of the friendly in Mar del Plata and had to leave the game. At the end of the match, the player said he didn't know if it was a muscle strain or something else, but estimated that if he has a tear, he will be out for about 20 days. This means that he not only has to forget about the Superclásico on Sunday, but also would miss the return of the Superliga against Colón.
The player returned to Buenos Aires to undergo medical tests and determine the severity of his injury.
The natural replacement for Pérez would be Colombian player Sebastián Pérez, who has already recovered from a serious knee injury that kept him out of the game last year.
