After playing four consecutive matches, Santiago Garcia suffered a tear in the cartilage of his left knee and has since missed the last three rounds of the 2023 Torneo Clausura of the Liga 1 Betsson: the Alianza Lima defender recently underwent a meniscus cleaning surgery. In that context, the Argentine center-back arrived at the 'Blanquiazul' training with crutches, in view of the match against Union Comercio, and has already started his rehabilitation. It is estimated that he will return to the field in a month.
The former Toluca player joined Mauricio Larriera's team training session. Although not to work alongside his teammates, but to go through the entire process of his rehabilitation. He was with the team at all times, but when the field work began, he left - with the support of crutches - to another area of the sports facility.
