The Argentine doctor Alejandro Roncoroni spoke regarding the injury of Luciano Sánchez
It was minute 12 of the second half of the match between Argentinos Juniors and Fluminense when a play caused a deathly silence at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in La Paternal. Luciano Sánchez’s left leg got stuck when he was trying to take the ball from Marcelo and, following an involuntary stomp from the historic Brazilian full-back, he suffered a very serious injury.
After the 1-1 draw, Bicho’s medical report indicated that the defender suffered a complete dislocation of his knee. After what happened, the one who spoke was the Secretary General Alejandro Roncoroni, who is also a doctor. “I have been a doctor for 23 years, and always linked to football, I never had to see anything like this. Yesterday Tucho Villani was a field doctor, he has been around longer than me, he said the same thing. 40 years as a doctor and nothing like this has ever been seen, ”said the club leader in dialogue with DSports radio.
“It is a complete knee dislocation. To speak in Creole, so that people can understand, that it is easier than giving technical things: it is practically a separation of what the femur is, of the tibia and the fibula, of what the knee joint is. Without a vascular compromise, thankfully. Studying it towards the end of the night we have been able to see it. Not a fracture either, ”added Roncoroni, who took advantage of his experience on the subject to detail the problems suffered by the footballer who wears the AAAJ No. 3 jersey.
“But there is a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate, of the external lateral, part of the patellar, part of the posterior cruciate… You have to do a surgical reconstruction, to be able to reconstruct this and the recovery is between 10 and 12 months with luck, if everything works out good. A dislocation is something that has come completely out of place. All those ligaments were torn and they will have to be reconstructed, ”he said.

“The very word of the injury tells you: complete knee dislocation. A dislocation is that there is something that has come out of place and in this case, it has completely come out of place. You have a joint that is supported by different ligaments, for that to happen there must be a break in the entire support system. All these ligaments have been torn, ”he clarified.
“All Argentine soccer and Conmebol have made themselves available. They have been dismayed”, declared Roncoroni, who explained the steps to follow in the coming days to care for the player. “The first thing is to wait for it to deflate. I think it will be a two, three or four week process. From there, rebuild this. Maybe we do two surgical times. Yesterday it was to save the urgency, compensate the player and from now on we will see the best steps to follow. We will consult with each other.”
The manager pointed out that the recovery process will not be “quick”: “We are talking regarding a high-performance athlete. You have to look for the best alternatives so that he can continue his career following what happened to him ”.
The leader and also a doctor highlighted the integrity that the defender of Argentinos Juniors had in the face of what happened. “The girlfriend came down, he reassured the girlfriend. She told us ‘Stay calm’. One integrity, one heart. There is no person who does not love Luciano”. At the same time, he stressed that he is in contact with Sánchez and detailed the steps to follow: “I spoke with our doctor, who will be doing everything. He will probably be released following noon today so he can do this part of the recovery at his house. Now you just have to immobilize and wait for the inflammation to go down. We can not do anything else”.
Immediately followingwards, Roncoroni gave his opinion on the intentionality of the former Real Madrid in the action and marked his position on the fact that the injury would have occurred in the same way without the movement of the Brazilian. “I am not sure that it was due to Marcelo’s stomp. If we take a good look at it, it would seem like the kid digs himself in before and he who comes dribbling, casually steps on him. But because of how it happened, he didn’t have any kind of intention. We know Marcelo too. I want to highlight Cheche’s integrity, he reassured us all.”
The chilling injury of Luciano Sánchez that Marcelo caused him in the duel between Argentinos and Fluminense
The situation generated a high impact on the players and the coaching staff of Gabriel Milito. The same thing happened with the Fluminense footballers. The defender broke down in tears in the middle of the playing field and held his head while Sánchez was treated by the doctors. After being sent off by the referee, Marcelo went to the locker room in dismay. “Marcelo came over. Once the doping was dealt with, I stayed talking to him. He asked me for the player’s number so he might call him, ”Roncoroni explained.
He also referred to referee Piero Maza’s decision to expel the Brazilian: “We talked regarding the intention. We were clear regarding it: notice that no Argentinian player requested the expulsion. After speaking with the referee, he explained to us, and he also explained to Marcelo, that he has to send him off due to a matter of protocol. The regulations say that when there is a fracture or a serious injury, and there is physical contact between the players, regardless of the intention, they have to expel it.
At the same time, he recalled the exposed fracture of the tibia and fibula that Ezequiel Ham suffered following being stepped on by Carlos Tevez in 2015: “In Argentinos, unfortunately we already have experience in serious injuries and of this style. The Turkish Ham if you remember. The difference in attitude between one person and another that theoretically produced the injury is clear. What I want to say is that if that stomp had not existed, the seriousness of the injury we are talking regarding would not have existed, but the injury would have existed in the same way. It did not arise for me nor did it arise for anyone to make Marcelo take charge of this type of injury as it did happen at the time with Tevez with Ham ”.
Once the meeting was over, Marcelo used his social networks to give his view of what happened. “Today I have had to live through a very difficult moment on the pitch. I have inadvertently injured a colleague. I want to wish you the best possible recovery, Luciano Sánchez. All the strength in the world! ”, He wrote on his Twitter account.
