Boca’s absentees for the final round of the Torneo Clausura | OneFootball

Boca dominated River. They defeated them 2-0 in the 14th round of the Clausura Tournament and secured their qualification for the next edition of the Copa Libertadores. The first objective has been achieved, and now Claudio Úbeda's team will have to face the play-offs of the Argentine championship, but first, they will face Tigre in the final round.

Although the Xeneize secured their qualification for the next stage of the tournament, they must determine their position to know their next opponent. Currently, they are the absolute leader of Group A with 26 points, while Unión de Santa Fe is the runner-up with 24 points and Central Córdoba with 22, although with one less match.

Looking ahead to the final round of the Clausura Tournament, Claudio Úbeda's team will host Tigre at La Bombonera, with the time and date to be confirmed, as the AFA will wait for the 14th round to conclude before announcing the schedule for the final stage. However, while waiting for the schedule, Boca's coaching staff is clear that they will not be able to count on two key players: Leandro Paredes and Lautaro Di Lollo.

Boca will lose their captain and starting right central defender for the final round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament.

Despite Lionel Scaloni deciding not to call up any local players for the tour against Angola for the November FIFA Date with the Argentine National Team, since Boca achieved the Copa Libertadores objective, the captain received the 'OK' to join the delegation.

He will travel this Sunday to Spain to join the Albiceleste's training. Additionally, he was substituted in the Superclásico and was seen with an ice pack on his right calf.

Meanwhile, the defender born in 2004 will miss the match against Tigre due to an accumulation of yellow cards. At 40 minutes into the match against River, he received a booking that forces him to serve a suspension for reaching the fifth. He will be available for the quarter-final match of the Clausura Tournament.

Who could be the replacements?

There is still a week left for Claudio Úbeda to define the team that will face Tigre, and the Superclásico has just ended. However, it can be prematurely analyzed who could replace Leandro Paredes and Lautaro Di Lollo for the match against the Matador at La Bombonera.

Due to the changes implemented by “Sifón” Úbeda throughout the matches, Ander Herrera or Tomás Belmonte could replace Boca's captain. Toto was precisely the one chosen by the coach to replace Paredes against River. Meanwhile, Di Lollo would be replaced by Marco Pellegrino, potentially forming a central defense with two left-footed players, alongside Ayrton Costa.
