translated from Spanish: Two days after Racing – Independent, “Saltita” Gonzalez received discharge

Lucas Gonzalez was a portagonist on a move that scared more than one in Avellaneda. Independiente’s midfielder pitched a serve from his goalkeeper Miltón Alvarez and when he nodded he received an involuntary blow to Racing defender Joaquin Novillo, for which he lost consciousness. Immediately, the 20-year-old was replaced within 20 minutes of the game and headed by ambulance directly to the Finochietto Sanatorium in the Recoleta neighborhood, where he spent the weekend. After two days of observation, he was discharged where he expressed himself about what he lived.

“I remember when I jumped and then I don’t remember anything anymore. The doctor was asking me what had happened and I didn’t remember. I had my legs asleep and that scared me a little bit. Dizziness, nausea, the truth was a moment that scared me not to feel my legs,” he said to the press.” Before the crash, I remember the game. I saw the images again, went over the play. He jumps after me, he doesn’t see me and I think it was unintentional, so the most important thing is that I’m fine. Now to rest and tomorrow I’ll go see the doctor to see me to see how I feel,” he said in statements reproduced by TyC Sports.As for the chances of returning to the field, he recounted, “The doctor told me that I have to rest, to tell him how I felt. I already want to train and go back to the courts.” For the time being, you will have to wait at least a few days and the next commitment of Independent, to Defense and Justice is likely to be lost.
On the other hand, he referred to the close of the match, especially when he felt better. “The first thing I did when I regained consciousness was to ask how the game had come out and then I asked to warn my old lady, who was surely worried,” she said and opined of the scandalous end.” The truth is clearly not criminal. It’s a decision that hurt us, but it’s all said and it’s over. They will have to take care of that,” he said of Vigliano’s arbitration that clearly defined the classic in favor of Racing, by 1 to 0.
