BUENOS AIRES - Boca Juniors and former
Argentina playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme will be out for up to
40 days after suffering a foot injury, his club said on
Thursday.
Riquelme came off injured in Thursday's 3-0 home win over
Chacarita Juniors in the Argentine Apertura championship which
Boca won 3-0 to go ninth in the standings five points behind
leaders Estudiantes.
Boca's improving arch-rivals River Plate climbed to 14th,
13 points off the pace, with a 2-1 win at Argentinos Juniors,
their first victory in nine matches and first away in 17.
