Joaquín Correa suffers muscle injury ahead of Copa Libertadores final

Estudiantes de La Plata striker Joaquín Correa has suffered a grade 2 muscle tear in his right leg biceps, according to an official medical report from the club. The injury occurred during a 1-1 draw against Talleres de Córdoba in the final match of the Torneo Clausura.

Correa is officially ruled out for the upcoming Supercopa Argentina final against Independiente Rivadavia. While the injury is expected to take approximately three weeks to heal, the club and manager Alexander Medina are hopeful he can recover in time for the Copa Libertadores final against Palmeiras, scheduled for November 28 in Montevideo, Uruguay.

This is not the player's first physical setback this season, following previous muscle issues and a hematoma during recent continental competitions. The medical staff will monitor his recovery to determine if he can reach sufficient fitness levels for the championship match in Uruguay.
