With an eye on the continental debut, Claudio Úbeda decided to shake things up. The Boca coach is planning a massive rotation for this Thursday’s clash against Talleres of Córdoba at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium, prioritizing rest for the usual starters ahead of the start of the Copa Libertadores.
The main doubt in putting together the team has a first and last name: Leandro Paredes. The defensive midfielder, who played 52 minutes last night in Argentina’s friendly against Zambia at La Bombonera, rejoined training this morning in Ezeiza.
Although the World Cup-winning number five is part of the Xeneize squad traveling to La Docta, his place in the starting lineup is not confirmed. After doing light work to recover physically, Úbeda is weighing whether to send him onto the pitch from the start or, more likely, give him minutes off the bench to avoid unnecessary physical overload.

Úbeda will make several changes to Boca’s lineup.
Due to the proximity of the trip to Chile, where Boca will face Universidad Católica next Tuesday, April 7, at 9:30 p.m. at Claro Arena, the coaching staff fielded an alternate team in the last practice.
