I saw Edinson Cavani in a box at La Bombonera during the match against Gimnasia, and honestly, it’s concerning. The guy attempted a simple move and you could see the pain on his face, that’s all. He’s been dealing with back problems for months that prevent him from moving properly. Since he arrived almost three years ago, he’s missed 33 matches due to injuries, spent 310 days in the medical room, and this year he’s only played two games. Doctors mention a vertebra pressing on his leg. Cavani is 39 years old and clearly wants to keep going, but with this burden of recurring injuries, it’s complicated. What surprised me most is that he notified CONMEBOL that he’s available for the Copa Libertadores, so the intention is there. But, the last time we saw him on the field, he was heavily booed. Sergio Martínez, who is also from Boca and Uruguayan like him, came out to defend him, saying that the injuries have really hurt him, and that when it’s his turn to play, he’ll have to score goals. Basically, he said Cavani will fight to recover unless the injury is very serious. The question is whether his body will hold up.
