During the second half of the match between Argentinos Jrs vs. Fluminense for the Copa Libertadores, defender Luciano Sánchez was stepped on by Brazilian Marcelo. This foul ended with the fracture of the 'Bicho' player's leg, and the images quickly went around the world.
In that sense, Argentinos Jrs assured through social media that the 29-year-old player is already being treated at Sanatorio Finochietto. According to journalist César Luis Merlo, he suffered a complete knee dislocation, so he could be in recovery for 8 to 12 months.
"Luciano Sanchez was transferred to Sanatorio Finochietto for the study of his injury. The medical report will be informed in the next few hours. Stay strong Cheche!" confirmed the institution through its official Twitter account.
Throughout his career, Luciano Sánchez has only defended the shirt of two professional clubs: Independiente de Rivadavia and Argentinos Jrs. In fact, the defender only arrived at 'Semillero del Mundo' at the beginning of 2022.
It is important to note that Sánchez has become an important figure in Gabriel Milito's scheme this year, as he has played a total of 20 official matches with the Argentinos shirt. For now, everything seems to indicate that his replacement will be Pablo Minissale.
How much is Luciano Sánchez's transfer value?
According to Transfermarkt figures, Luciano Sánchez is valued at approximately 250,000 euros. However, data from the portal indicates that the center-back's value reached 275,000 at its peak.
