Tense moment at Boca Juniors

A tense moment occurred at Boca Juniors, after the last practice on Tuesday, March 15th, the team's coach Hugo Ibarra became ill due to a nosebleed.

According to Argentine journalist Leandro Aguilera who covers the xeneize team, the coach arrived at the training ground feeling down and with a severe headache.

When the nosebleed started, he was immediately examined by the team doctors and urgently transferred to the Hospital Italiano de San Justo, where he arrived by ambulance because he was not in a condition to drive.

On the other hand, once at the hospital, it was decided that the coach of Boca Juniors would remain hospitalized for observation and precaution during the night, while awaiting the official medical report. But according to ESPN, it is speculated that Ibarra may be experiencing a spike in blood pressure.

The coach suffered a 3-hour nasal bleeding, so he was treated by the Otorhinolaryngology service. Nasal epistaxis of arterial origin was identified and controlled with local treatment. Ibarra has remained stable since his admission to the hospital and it was decided to keep him hospitalized for follow-up. This is stated in the medical report from the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires.

The blue and gold team will face Instituto on Sunday, March 19th, in the 8th round of the Argentine Professional League, in a match that will start at 19:00 hours in Buenos Aires.
