Ayrton Costa, a defender for Boca Juniors, will miss the Club World Cup as his visa application was denied. Despite being initially included in the tournament roster, he was unable to travel to Miami with his team due to the visa processing delay. This decision appears linked to his past involvement in a criminal case in Argentina. His absence presents a challenge for coach Miguel Russo, who must consider alternative strategies for the upcoming match against Benfica, while also dealing with another injured player, Marco Pellegrino.
Boca Juniors defender Ayrton Costa will miss the Club World Cup due to a denied visa for entry into the United States, according to the club.
Costa was involved in a criminal case in 2018 related to an attempted robbery, but Boca Juniors did not provide reasons for the visa refusal.
Coach Miguel Russo now has to adjust his lineup without Costa, as veteran Marcos Rojo is anticipated to start in the upcoming match.
The team faces challenges ahead as defender Marco Pellegrino is also recovering from an injury, adding to the squad's difficulties.
