Boca Juniors crisis deepens as Marcos Rojo clashes with manager Russo. Rojo banished from Boca dressing room after heated exchange with the coach.
Boca Juniors, winless since April, endure a torrid spell despite flashes of promise at the Club World Cup. The Xeneizes seek to arrest slump by barring three players from first-team dressing room.
Saracchi, Lema, and Marcos Rojo face ban as Boca Juniors boss Russo wields the axe. Reports suggest Russo is standing firm, a decision that could see the Argentinian side terminate Rojo’s contract.
The veteran defender, once a star at Manchester United, arrived at Boca in 2021 after a promising start at Old Trafford that yielded FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League honours.
However, a serious injury curtailed his progress, restricting him to a bit-part role, and at 35, his career is now heading towards a less competitive league.
