Zeballos was injured again and will undergo knee surgery

Boca’s youth attacker, Exequiel Zeballos, suffered an injury to his left knee and will have to have surgery to return to training alongside his teammates, so he will be away from the courts for a long time. Exequiel Zeballos has an external meniscal injury in his left knee for which he must undergo surgery, “said the Medical Department of Professional Football on the official account of Boca Juniors on Twitter. Although some meniscus injuries are treated with anti-inflammatories, in the case of the extreme it is more serious than expected and you must undergo an arthroscopy to avoid suffering more ailments in your right knee. It is expected that it would take between three and four weeks of recovery, less time than normal. This is the second time that the talented attacker will be out of the courts: on August 11, 2022, Boca beat Carlos Casares’ Agropecuario and in that match he suffered the rupture of the external ligament that joins the tibia with the fibula of the right leg. Zeballos returned to the Boca squad for the match against Racing for the Champions Trophy in San Luis in November, but was only able to play again in the first match of the 2023 Professional League, in the victory of “Xeneize” against Atlético Tucumán by 1-0 in La Bombonera.
