Yesterday, the big news at Boca was the absence of the Basque player for the match against Unión due to a lumbar pain. However, Boca confirmed today that Ander has a grade II tear in his right ischiotibial, which will keep him out for at least a month.

In addition to tomorrow's match against Unión, the midfielder will miss several key commitments. It is more than possible that he will miss the Copa Libertadores repechage and, in the local league, he will not be able to play against Huracán, Racing, Independiente Rivadavia, Banfield, and Aldosivi. He will only be ready to face Rosario Central at the end of February.

While Ander recovers from his injury, Fernando Gago will choose between Williams Alarcón and Tomás Belmonte as possible candidates to replace him. Although Rodrigo Battaglia could be another option, the Xeneize coach only considers him for the central defense.
