I saw Cavani at La Bombonera on Saturday and honestly, I was worried about what happened. The guy was in a box seat, made a simple move, and you could see the pain on his face. That’s not normal. They say it’s a vertebra problem that was radiating down his leg, quite serious.

What surprises me most is that Edinson Cavani has been in the infirmary for 310 days since he arrived in July 2023. 310 days. This year, he only played two matches and didn’t score any goals. People booed him after the match against Racing; it was hard to watch. He’s 39 years old, is the vice-captain, and is in an uncomfortable position because Bareiro arrived with a strong presence.

Now they’re doing more in-depth studies, infiltrations, all that. Cavani says he’s still available for the Libertadores, so he wants to fight for it. But look, sometimes injuries break you more than anything else. Do you think he’ll truly recover or is this the end?
