Tottenham Hotspur allowed Alejo Véliz to return to Rosario Central on a season-long loan deal in the summer window and the move has worked out well so far as he’s featured regularly for them.
At the weekend, the striker made his seventh appearance of this season for the Argentine club against Boca Juniors and suffered an injury in the first half.
After the match, Rosario Central manager Ariel Holan confirmed the Tottenham man hurt his collarbone, while claims from Argentina suggested he’s dislocated his right shoulder or collarbone.
Rosario Central took to their official channel on X, formerly known as Twitter, to confirm that Véliz suffered a “Grade 2 acromioclavicular injury in his right shoulder.”
They made no mention of further details like the timeline for recovery or whether the 21-year-old has to go under the knife, and these details are provided by media close to the South American club.
According to La Capital, the Tottenham owned player has suffered a ‘partial tear of the ligaments that support the joint between the clavicle and shoulder bones, specifically called the acromioclavicular joint.’
It’s claimed the frontman is set to avoid surgery, which should please him and Rosario Central, and his injury could be cured by a conservative treatment.
La Capital state Véliz will have to wear sling for a few days, to restrict movement and reduce swelling.
