Within hours of the premiere in the Apertura Tournament, Miguel Angel Russo clutches his head and laments. It is no wonder since he will lose the figure and the captain of San Lorenzo looking ahead to Saturday. Iker Muniain He was injured and will be out on Saturday at the Nuevo Gasómetro.
He was the face of the presentation of the new Ciclón shirt last Tuesday at a luxury event in a Palermo hall. Fans, managers, influencers and even the club’s glories looked for Muniain for the photo. But Vasco will not be able to appear in the first official match of 2025 for Boedo’s team.
What happened to him? There was no official medical report at the moment, but, according to what he learned Clarionhas a strong muscle discomfort that will prevent him from playing this Saturday and we will have to see if he will be allowed to play next Wednesday against Gimnasia in La Plata. This Friday they will carry out studies to find out the severity.
The ’10’ shirt will have to wait to land on his torso. The Spanish footballer was going to use that number for the first time since last year he had the ’80’ because Nahuel Barrios was the one who wore the ’10’ and now he went on loan to Barracas Central.
Muniain had warned after the first summer friendly that the preparation was taking its toll on him. The blonde midfielder had remarked that he felt in the first days of January the hard work of physical exercises that are typical of Argentine football.
San Lorenzo played three matches in Uruguay in the so-called Río de la Plata Series in just six days. And Russo’s decision was to always repeat the formation to give a starting eleven a run for its money. Of course, in the second half, numerous variations were made to give everyone minutes.
Iker was always replaced and never played more than 60 minutes per game. However, this caused an overload that may have led to an injury. In Boedo they hope it will be as light as possible, while the coach is already thinking about how he will replace it.
