How is Miguel Ángel Russo? Tests underway for infection | OneFootball

While he remains active and at the helm of Boca's technical direction, Miguel Ángel Russo's health continues to be a delicate issue at Xeneize. Thus, in light of evident recent fatigue, the club reached a consensus with the coach, who decided to undergo new medical tests that revealed a urinary infection.

As it transpired, the coach had already undergone tests last week and the problem had been ruled out. However, Russo was noticed to be visibly tired, which led to the decision to repeat the tests at the Fleni Institute, in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires. There, the tests detected the problem and it was decided that the coach should remain in the clinic to receive intravenous medication, only for a few hours before being discharged to return home.

A few days ago, after Boca's victory over Aldosivi in Mar del Plata, it was Hugo Gottardi, Russo's former assistant, who warned about the coach's evident fatigue: "I see him very tired. Yesterday I was watching him sitting and you know... Carrying Boca on your back is like dragging a truck. It's tough. He comes from an illness and he's okay... For me, he's okay, but I see him worn out. Miguel is fighting on many fronts". Gottardi also publicly asked Russo to "stop messing around and enjoy his grandchildren".

The truth is that, beyond the normal concern that his friends and family might have, the coach is doing well and is only being treated for a urinary infection, awaiting to be discharged today and able to return to work.
