On Saturday October 5, within barely ten seconds in the seventh chukka during the final of the 131st. Hurlingham Open final, Adolfo Cambiaso suffered a heavy fall, that caused him a serious injury – a torn muscle, according to the first reports. He was unable to return to the field so he was subbed in by Gonzalo Ferrari.

Luego de la revisación médica, se confirmó la lesión del mejor jugador del mundo, quien en principio, tiene 20 días de recuperación. “La verdad es que no te puedo contar mucho, el proceso es que cuanto antes me recupere, voy a estar”, le comentó Adolfo Cambiaso a PoloLine. En principio, y como sucedió en Hurlingham, su lugar lo tomará Gonzalo Ferrari, tal como el propio Cambiaso lo confirmó: “Por ahora, va a jugar Gonza, mientras yo me recupero lo antes posible; no hay mucho más para decir, es una lesión muscular que me va a tomar, seguro, un par de partidos”.

Following medical consultations, the injury was confirmed, and it will take at least 20 days to recover. “Honestly, I can’t tell you that much; my aim is to recover as soon as possible, so I can be able to be back on the saddle”, Adolfo Cambiaso told PoloLine. During Cambiaso’s recovering term, his place will be taken by Gonzalo Ferrari, as stated by the world’s best player himself. “At the moment, Gonza will sub in for me, while I recover; the sooner the better. But there’s not much to say, it is a muscle injury and I will miss at least a couple of games”.

Therefore, La Dolfina will begin their participation in the upcoming Tortugas Open, on Sunday October 13 against La Hache Cría & Polo, without Adolfo Cambiaso, at least for the moment, who will be back depending on the evolution of the injury.
