Ex-Man Utd defender Rojo injured in first Boca Juniors training session

Former Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has broken down in his first training session with new club Boca Juniors.

Rojo signed for Boca Juniors for an undisclosed fee this week, with his last game for the Red Devils coming 15 months ago.

He has already suffered a setback after picking up an injury in his debut training session caused by 'inactivity' on the pitch, says Olé.

It has been reported that Rojo might have been shocked by the intensity of the session given his long spell on the sidelines in recent times.

But Boca have since put Rojo - who is believed to have sustained a calf injury, according to local reports - on a lighter programme and he returned to the training pitch on Thursday.
