Boca's call on Adam Bareiro after the red card against Cruzeiro | OneFootball

In the 1-0 loss to Cruzeiro on Matchday 3 of Copa Conmebol Libertadores Group D, Boca forward Adam Bareiro received his first red card since joining the club after being booked twice in the first 45 minutes of the match.

As a result of this sending-off, the former San Lorenzo player will not be available for the away match against Barcelona of Ecuador on Matchday 4 of the continental tournament, and Claudio Úbeda’s coaching staff must now make a decision regarding him ahead of the clash with Central Córdoba in the Apertura Tournament.

The reason is that the striker has four yellow cards, and if he receives one more in the match against the Ferroviario, he will reach five and must serve a one-match suspension, which would rule him out of the round of 16, where the Xeneize will play at home at La Bombonera.

In this context, as Bolavip has learned, Claudio Úbeda’s intention is to field an alternate lineup against Central Córdoba. That is why Bareiro will be on the bench and could get minutes in the second half if the match requires it.

With that in mind, everything indicates that the Paraguayan will not start against the Ferroviario and will not risk picking up a fifth yellow card. He will then rest against Barcelona and is expected to return to the starting lineup in the Apertura Tournament round of 16 on the weekend of May 8. It is worth noting that yellow cards are wiped from this stage onward.

One important detail to keep in mind is that the Xeneize will be looking to take all three points in this match in order to finish first in Group A and have home advantage in every knockout tie. In addition, they will play before Estudiantes and Vélez, which means they can put pressure on them if they get a good result.
