Juan Fernando Quintero was injured and will be absent for three weeks in River

Finally, River Plate's medical staff confirmed some sensitive news for River Plate: Colombian midfielder Juan Fernando Quintero Paniagua will be out of the courts for three weeks after confirming that he suffered a tear in his left hamstring.

Juanfer's injury would have occurred on the morning of Tuesday, April 19, during a training session of the millionaire club. The tear occurred in what would be the lightest sports practice of all, with stop-ball work, but the accumulation of minutes and overexertion forced Quintero's loss, which has been alternated between initialists and revulsives by Marcelo Gallardo so far this season.

His arrival from Chinese football to Argentine professional football could have been a decisive factor in the injury of the Colombia national team player, who has encountered more demanding rivals and matches every three or four days in different tournaments.

On the morning of this Wednesday, April 20, the player appeared at the facilities of the Centro Rossi Clinic in Buenos Aires and after granting photographs for some of his fans, upon leaving the medical center he was approached by the press. Before the media, the volante paisa confirmed that studies are carried out after the injury and that it is normal to present these injuries in the football environment:

The coffee grower considers that demand is a factor to consider after the expectations that coach Marcelo Gallardo has placed on him. In addition, he knows that we must rise to all the circumstances in River, taking into account the history of the millionaire team and that he must always play at least the local league and the Copa Libertadores.

The notable sports overload in some members of the professional payroll has led to this type of injury, so it is likely that River will make a partial rotation against Talleres de Córdoba in view of the overdemand that players such as Julián Álvarez, Enzo Fernández, Enzo Pérez, Paulo Díaz have had and Hector David Martinez.

With Juanfer as the player unsummoned from River's list for the vital game against Talleres for the lead of zone 1 of the Professional League Cup, coach Marcelo Gallardo will have to manage to promote a creative midfield with offensive deployment against the T.

It should be noted that Quintero even participated in the last training that River Plate had at its headquarters, however, this pain in his left leg persisted and ended up taking him out of the group that traveled for the 11th date of the first semester tournament in the Argentine first division.

The Colombian midfielder has just stood out as the best player in the match against Banfield, according to the portal specialized in sports statistics SofaScore, with a score of 7.4 out of 10. He entered for Santiago Simón as a revulsive of the match in the 59th minute, when the match was tied 1-1 and only five minutes were enough to take advantage of the confidence of his coach Marcelo Gallardo and brilliantly assisted the 1-2 final goal for Matías Suárez at the Florencio Sola stadium.
