The tie (1-1) between Argentinos Juniors and Fluminense, for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16, was overshadowed by the serious injury suffered by Luciano Sánchez on Tuesday night. The Argentine defender was stepped on by Marcelo and ended up with a fracture that will keep him off the field for a long time. In this regard, Donato Villani, AFA's medical chief and one of the coordinators of Conmebol's medical department, has provided details of the unfortunate incident and revealed the greatest risk the player faced.
In an interview with TyC Sports, Villani, who was at Argentinos Juniors' stadium when Luciano Sánchez was injured, said that in his 30-year career he had never seen such a serious accident as the one suffered by 'El Bicho' defender.
