Overview
- Racing said Saturday he left the squad for the Copa Argentina match after an attempted robbery Thursday left him hurt.
- The club reported bruises, scrapes, and a contused cut on the left crest of his hip.
- Media reports say the attack happened in Puerto Madero when assailants tried to take a gold chain and a phone and used a sharp weapon after he resisted.
- He was treated while in the team hotel, returned home Saturday, and will be assessed by club doctors Monday for a possible return to group work.
- The 24-year-old recent signing, who had been in line to start, thanked fans on Instagram and his absence forces late changes with the Avellaneda derby week ahead.
