There are hours of controversy from the permission that Boca requested and that both Conmebol and the Paraguayan Ministry of Health granted so that the players of Miguel Ángel Russo’s team who are positive for covid-19, but no longer contagious for having made the corresponding 14 days of isolation, they can travel to Asunción to play the game against Libertad on Thursday. However, there is no free way for all footballers. The mother entity of South American football has already given the board xeneize the names that will not be able to get on the plane tomorrow.
The health bubble in Ezeiza was a mess: more than two weeks ago a massive outbreak of infections appeared. In stages. First, there were 14 confirmed cases. On September 2, Boca officially announced that the positives had increased to 18. And four days later, unofficially it was already known that the affected players were 22. In effect, there is a group that has not yet completed the essential period of recovery and, as noted, you can still pass the virus on to others.
In this context, Conmebol notified the Boquenses authorities that Mauro Zárate, Julio Buffarini, Mateo Retegui, Gastón Gerzel and Renzo Giampaoli, Men who belonged to the last contagion groups are prohibited from joining the delegation that will start the trip to Paraguay on Wednesday afternoon. With one exception that gives the technician more serenity: Frank Fabra was enabled. Why? In Boca they do not know how to explain it and they affirm that everything was a decision of the Paraguayan health organization. And Russo? Between now and tomorrow, he will inform the Football Council and the doctors about the decision he makes with regard to traveling or staying at home, given his condition of belonging to risk groups.
At some point, those casualties don’t hurt Russo’s plan too much. Buffarini, it is known, was the starting right-back of the Super League champion team and is still considered as the owner of the position, while Zárate is a darling of the coach since he knows him a lot since they met in Vélez. However, both players drag muscular overloads that put them in doubt for the game. With this news, you already know that you will not have them, no matter how they are in conditions at this time.
The controversy grows. The protests of Libertad multiply before the authorization that Boca received from the Paraguayan health authorities and Conmebol to travel to Asunción with players who have tested positive for coronavirus in the last test and who are no longer contagious. Faced with this scenario, the Xeneize medical body made the determination to re-swab the footballers that the club presented for the dispute of the game that reopens the game in the Copa Libertadores with the idea of calming down.
Although some of the 24 players who will travel to Paraguay tested positive for Covid-19 and have been discharged from health, from Libertad they assure that they will claim before the courts if Boca takes these players to the dispute of the match next Thursday. It is a risk that Boca assumes, since although some controls may return as “detectable”, the problem is that the group of players who have already undergone these tests and had no problems can now appear as infected and on that payroll are Zambrano, Campuzano, Mas, Cardona and Maroni.
These controls are the ones that will be sent to Conmebol and in the event that a new positive appears, that footballer could be excluded from the meeting with Libertad and also from next week’s match against DIM, in Medellín. In any case, the intention of the swab is to find results that are now negative to travel with greater peace of mind.
What Boca now intends is that Libertad’s claims do not prosper, since Gerardo Acosta, legal advisor of the Paraguayan team, explained in TyC Sports that the team will play under protest and that it could ask for the points: “It is a very complicated issue. No We can allow players with a positive PCR to play against Libertad. Those who continue to test positive cannot be accredited. The regulations should not be modified with the competition at stake. “
