O’Higgins de Rancagua will have a significant loss for an as yet unknown period. The Argentine-Chilean goalkeeper, Nicolás Peranic, will have to undergo surgery due to an injury in one of his hands.
According to the medical report issued by the club, it was reported that “after tests carried out this Tuesday at the Meds Clinic in Las Condes, it has been decided that the goalkeeper of our professional team, Nicolás Peranic, will have to undergo surgery in the next few days due to evidence of a bone avulsion in the ring finger of his left hand, which compromises his joint.”
UNCERTAIN FUTURE
The recovery period, according to similar cases, could be between six weeks and six months. According to that, the goalkeeper could perfectly miss the rest of the season, a situation that would force the club to go and look for another player, a case that is allowed by the regulations.
In fact, in the last few hours the name of Cristóbal Campos, former goalkeeper of the University of Chile and the Chilean National Team, who now plays for San Antonio Unido, in the Second Professional Division, has gained strength. His experience in the First Division could catapult him back to the top flight.
The port has indicated that Campos will not be leaving for the moment, but that if he is thinking of leaving, it is O’Higgins who would have to make a financial effort to bring him there.
The other scenario is that the club chooses to keep Diego Carreño and Martín Quezada as the goalkeepers of the professional squad.
ANOTHER GARDEN PLAYER EMIGRATES TO B
Deportes Limache is once again bringing in a player who trained at O’Higgins to strengthen its squad for the final stretch of the promotion tournament.
Gabriel Pinto, a holding midfielder who is currently a starter in the team managed by Víctor Rivero, will be joined by forward Nicolás Matamoros.
The youngster, who was loaned to Fluminense last year, has only played a few minutes in the first team during 2024. In the defeat against Palestino, in La Cisterna, he played in the last 22 minutes of the match.
Thus, the right winger will look to add minutes in the Primera B, precisely in a team that is fighting for promotion to the top series.
