Boca Juniors stripped Rojo of captaincy following red card versus River Plate.

After receiving a red card in the Superclasico, former Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo was given a one-month suspension from his captaincy responsibilities at Boca Juniors.

Kicked out for wearing high boots.

Suspended for one game

Disallowed from adding items to the armband

WHAT CAME TO PASS? The furious defender was sent off in the last minutes of the derby match at La Bombonera when he kicked River Plate forward Nicolas De La Cruz in the head with a very high boot. This led to the official's decision to send the player off. As a consequence of being sent off during that match, not only will he be required to serve a suspension of one match, but the Argentine Football Association will also not allow him to wear the armband for Boca.

 

WHAT THEY SAID: The following was written in the minutes of an AFA disciplinary meeting: "Suspended for one game and is disabled for the term of one month to exercise the position of team captain." (Suspended for one game and is disabled for the term of one month to exercise the position of team captain.)

 

THE OVERALL SITUATION As a result of the strange punishment that was meted out to Rojo, he will not be able to take on the responsibilities of captain at Boca until he meets with Sarmiento on October 12

 

At the Boca Juniors vs. River Plate match, there were electric fans.

AND EVEN MORE, the 32-year-old man is taking a negative experience in stride, stating that "It doesn't worry me. The classics are like that, reaching a point when they become excessive. I committed three fouls during the entirety of the game, our team committed less fouls overall but did commit some tactical fouls; it's not that we played an overly aggressive game or did anything unusual. We are not worried about the things that we did, how we dealt with the game, or how we won it.

WHAT ARE ROJO'S FUTURE PLANS? The next time we see Boca in action, it will be Monday when they take on Huracan. Unfortunately for them, their captain will have to watch the game from the bench.
