River confirmed the fracture of Robert Rojas: how long would he be off the courts

The joy was not complete for River Plate. Despite the important victory against Alianza Lima by 1-0 with a goal by Matías Suárez at the Estadio Nacional de Lima for the first date of Group F, after the end of the match the millionaire suffered the significant loss of Robert Rojas, who will be off the playing field for several months.

“[Medical report] Robert Rojas suffered a fractured tibia and fibula. He will return to Buenos Aires with the delegation and will be operated on in the coming days,” the medical staff of the millionaire group officially announced. In this way, the possibility of operating the Paraguayan defender before returning to the country was completely ruled out. This Thursday he will be able to return with the rest of his teammates from Lima to Argentina.

It is worth noting that the injury was with displacement, but the doctor Pedro Hansing and the kinesiologist Jorge Bombicino managed to accommodate the area before the former Guaraní was taken by ambulance to the hospital for the first studies, which confirmed the degree of the situation

Recovery in this type of injury is between four and eight months, so Robert Rojas could miss the rest of the season.

“It's okay. Robert is a great kid. A very noble person and that is why he is going to recover well. The sadness that he suffered an injury that will keep him away for a while, but he is going to recover. Accompany him at this time. Victory is very valuable, but when a player, a co-worker, is injured, it is always bitterness. These are things that happen in football, not to be the first or the last time. He is strong, he will recover, we are going to accompany him throughout this process. He has the diagnosis, fracture of the tibia and fibula”, explained Marcelo Gallardo after the match was over.

The right-back, winner of the Argentine Cup, Argentine Super Cup, Professional League, Champions Trophy and the South American Cup with the Millionario jersey, was a key piece in the Doll's scheme. So far this year, Rojas played seven games, in which he scored one goal (in the 2-0 win against Newell's in Rosario).

Aldair Rodriguez, the other protagonist of this unfortunate action, he went to the hotel to apologize personally to his colleague. “I am very sad about the situation that my professional colleague is experiencing. It was a fortuitous move, I had no bad intention. I went to play the ball and I think his foot is hooked and when it comes to forcing the ball it fractures. That's why I came to apologize to him personally,” he outlined. And then, he added: “I don't go with an iron, or excessively or much less irresponsibly. Maybe with a little force. I'm hurt by the situation, that's why I came here to ask forgiveness.” And then, he added: “Unfortunately, these are things that can happen in football, we are exposed to this. I came to apologize to him and his family, who I imagine must be very worried. I asked them to come so you know that at no time did I have any ill intentions. That's why I now understand the horniness of River's players. I apologize to Rojas, the team and all the people involved with River. It was without any intention.”
