Alberto Quintero: Panama's national team doctor's response to the injury of a Universitario player

The University of Deportes did not start on the right foot in 2022. And they were eliminated in the Copa Libertadores phase against Barcelona SC in Guayaquil and lost two of their most important players due to injuries. However, the doctors of the Panama national team gave tremendous news about 'Chiquitín', which could change the mentality of 'Crema' fans.

In fact, the journalist Gustavo Peralta, who works for ESPN Peru and the newspaper Libero, explained in detail the conversation with the doctor. “Alberto will choose a knockout match. His injuries (oblique tears) are mild, leaving less than 7 days of sports vacation.” Dr. Gerinaldo Martínez said in an interview with the media.

Gustavo Peralta reported the rise of the Panama national team physician Alberto Quintero.

Considering that the recovery of tears does not fall for less than two weeks, there is no doubt that this is news that will delight fans of 'canaleros' and fans of the 'Merengue' cast. If he takes a break and receives physical therapy, he will arrive in good condition for the matches of the cast of his country.

Quintero is a very important player in his team and is one of the weapons that coach Thomas Christiansen would once have regretted his absence, but now he can count on a key player in the final defining phase of the CONCACAF playoffs.

There are 3 matches that we will have to face to know if they have entered the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Honduras, the United States and Canada are the next rivals, but it will not be easy, because, apart from Hondurans (last 3 points), Canadians (first 25 points) and Americans (second with 21 points) are the leaders of the table. Panama is in fourth place with 17 points, so in these meetings it is necessary to keep all the best elements in optimal condition, and Quintero is part of it.

Situation at university

It will be a different reality for Universitario, and those from Ate will have to face a match against Deportivo Vinacional at 3824 m above sea level in the city of Juliacassi on Sunday, March 20. I also expected to have 'Chiquitín', but because of this injury, his It was a very difficult match that it was impossible to exist. However, if we face this situation, we will have to look for other alternatives to replace.The winger will not be easy because Álvaro Gutiérrez is one of the most disproportionate players in his team, and his absence will affect the interests of the team. The reaction of the doctors of the Panama team can be encouraging for the benefit of the two squads that the player defends.

Evolution from Universitario to Quintero

Let's remember that Quintero came to Universitario due to the San Jose Earthquake of MLS in 2017. Pedro Troglio often had to focus on the service when there was no element of attack under the technical direction of the team concerned. As a result of this and his tireless efforts, he won the love of fans and greatly valued his commitment.

What came next was the growth of the performance and hierarchy of the 'Merengue' store.Although he could not become a national champion (he was close to 2020, he lost the final of Sporting Cristal), his patience made him one of the leaders in the dressing room and getting closer and closer to obtaining the nationalization of Peru. In this way, he won a foreign position in the Universitario next season It's not going to.
