From the medical center where the footballer remains hospitalized, the club issued a medical report in which it clarifies: “The player Javier Altamirano suffered a convulsive episode. “He is in hospital under observation and to complete studies.” After which they detail: “A CT scan was performed, which showed no obvious pathological images. “He is stable.”
Resumption
The match between Estudiantes and Boca took a back seat after being suspended after 27 minutes due to the decompression suffered by Chilean midfielder Javie Altamirano. However, from the League they must schedule the resumption of the match on date 11 of the League Cup, although they will have the challenge of finding space in a tight schedule.
At the moment there are no details, but transcended that in the Professional League they have decided that the match will not resume this week.
The reasons are logical: They consider that the squad of the La Plata team is not in emotional condition to resume the match these days, despite the fact that the peace of mind has already arrived that Altamirano is stable, and that the FIFA date also began. Many footballers will join their national teams to play various friendlies. Even, Altamirano was called up by Chile and was going to travel the day after the game.
With this, The outlook for resuming the remaining 63 minutes of play is complex. The thing is that next weekend – which will continue to be FIFA date -, Boca will play its 32nd round match of the Argentine Cup against Central Norte in Salta on Saturday the 23rd.
A priori, The date that the organization allows to be revealed and that would be the most feasible is Wednesday, March 27 -prior to the extra long holiday for Easter-. That would be the only alternative that appears now, because the following weekends will have League Cup activity.
