Estudiantes president Veron tells Rojo: Just be more careful

Estudiantes president Juan Veron says Marcos Rojo needed to be smarter after being seen breaking coronavirus lockdown laws in Argentina this week.

On-loan from Manchester United, Rojo was photographed playing cards with friends - which the government has outlawed.

Veron said, “There have been talks with the club about the Rojo situation. We believe that he is big enough and old enough to take care of himself and take responsibility for his actions. 'I think he has to be a bit more careful because this is a very delicate moment for all of us.

“You can't show yourself playing cards with 10 people when we're all indoors, especially when you're a public figure. 'In your private life, everyone can behave as they see fit, but it is obvious that if you are seen wearing a Boca T-shirt it does not give off a very professional attitude.

“If you go too far, at some point – whether it bothers you or not – you will have to face the consequences. And the consequences could be a slap on the wrist or a fine."
