Boca have been on an awful run of form of late, having not won a single game since a penalty shootout success against Lanus in May.
And the last time they won a game in 90 minutes was on April 20.
That horror run includes the Club World Cup, where they drew with Benfica and lost to to Bayern Munich, before somehow failing to beat New Zealand amateurs Auckland City, who had lost 10-0 to the Germans in their tournament opener.
Meanwhile they have also struggled in the Argentine Primera Division, having not won once in their three second-phase games.
Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at Huracan meant that the streak is the club’s longest without a win in their history.
As tensions have heightened, Rojo, 35, has been exiled from the squad by manager Miguel Angel Russo and his staff.
ESPN Argentina claim the decision to throw out the former Red Devil was made after an argument between him and the coaching staff.
Rojo is not the only player to be banned from the first team, as he is training with the also banished Marcelo Saracchi and Cristian Lema.

The report claims that the decision will “not be reversed” and Rojo could even have his contract terminated.
This would be the end of the defender’s career at Boca and leaving him looking for a new club.
It has also been revealed that the three stars are not even allowed to use the locker rooms at Boca’s Xeneiza training centre.
Rojo is believed to have already asked to leave the club but has not received any offers.
The last time he featured for the team was in the penalty shootout win over Lanus.
Rojo joined Manchester United back in 2014 from Sporting Lisbon for £16million.
He won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League during his time in England.
However, a cruciate ligament injury in 2017 marked the beginning of the end of Rojo’s Old Trafford career.
Having played 95 times in the first three years, the following three saw Rojo feature in just 27 games.
