Overview

  • The 20-year-old injured his right knee during Friday’s training session and was taken for scans before the club confirmed an anterior cruciate ligament rupture.
  • Doctors expect a recovery of roughly six to eight months after surgery, effectively ruling him out of Argentina’s 2026 World Cup plans.
  • The setback follows a left‑knee ACL tear sustained in October 2024 while on national‑team duty, from which he had recently returned.
  • Carboni joined Racing on loan from Inter in January and has made five appearances as he sought minutes to stay in Lionel Scaloni’s consideration.
  • Club officials can petition the AFA to register a replacement, and plans for where the player will complete his rehabilitation are still being determined.
