Juan Sebastian Veron Heel Injury Will Sideline Estudiantes Captain For Rest Of Season

It’s been a difficult season for Veron and Estudiantes, and the 36 year old has been unable to significantly contribute to their title defence due to the persistence of his heel problem, which has apparently been bothering him for months. He’ll now miss the last five games of the season, but this is the sort of thing that can mean retirement for a player of his age. Hopefully cleaning his foot out will mean at a least a couple more years of Veron gracing us with his presence on the pitch.
