Rosario Central’s Juan Cruz Komar to Undergo Heart Surgery Thursday After Arrhythmia Recurs

No return date has been set, with doctors to reassess following the procedure for a condition previously treated in 2024.

Overview

  • Rosario Central issued an official medical bulletin confirming a cardiac arrhythmia and a scheduled operation at Fundación Favaloro in Buenos Aires on January 22.
  • Komar trained away from the first team during preseason while additional cardiovascular tests were completed.
  • The defender faced the same condition in 2024, which halted a move to Huracán and led to cardiac ablation procedures reported at the Hospital Británico.
  • The timing leaves Central without one of its regular center backs as the Apertura season begins, with the club prioritizing medical clearance over availability.
  • The team has provided no recovery timeline, stating that post-operative evaluations will determine when the 29- or 30-year-old can return to play.
