Nahuel Roldán, a prominent Uruguayan attacker for Oriente Petrolero, has raised concerns after sustaining a leg injury during the team's recent 3-3 draw against GV San José. The player experienced a sharp pull in his right leg and was seen in visible discomfort throughout the latter stages of the match.
Roldán, who has scored seven goals in nine appearances since joining the Bolivian club, pushed himself during the game in Oruro. In a second-half play, he accelerated to contest a ball and felt a strong pull in his right leg, prompting him to signal for medical attention. Despite being bandaged and in pain, he returned to the field for the final minutes.
The injury is particularly concerning for Oriente Petrolero as it comes just before the highly anticipated "clásico cruceño" against rivals Blooming this Sunday. Roldán is considered a vital player for coach Gustavo Florentín's squad, especially given his significant goal-scoring contributions.
The club is awaiting the results of medical examinations to assess the severity of the injury and determine Roldán's availability for the crucial match. The team hopes for a swift recovery, allowing their key forward to participate in one of the season's most important games.
