Leandro Brey returns to Boca’s XI vs Rosario Central after 8 months | OneFootball

After the break for the FIFA date, Boca will look to extend their winning streak by visiting Rosario Central. Once again, Miguel Ángel Russo will not be able to repeat the team due to physical issues, and at least one change is expected in the 11 that defeated Aldosivi in Mar del Plata.

The significant absence for the Ribera team is Agustín Marchesín, who suffered a grade II tear in his right calf and will not be available against the Canalla. Leandro Brey is expected to replace him, returning as a starter after almost eight months.

The 22-year-old goalkeeper was the one who took the place of the former Lanús player at the Minella and will do so again this weekend in Rosario. The last time he played the full 90 minutes was on January 29, in a 1-1 draw against Unión at La Bombonera for the Torneo Apertura.

Since the arrival of Agustín Marchesín, Brey has been relegated to the bench and had limited participation: the penalties against Alianza Lima and a handful of minutes against Aldosivi. He signed the team sheet as a substitute for 29 consecutive matches for the former Los Andes player.

Leandro Brey has 27 official appearances (1,989 minutes) with the Boca Juniors jersey. His record includes 17 goals conceded and 15 clean sheets. Additionally, he received 2 yellow cards and was never sent off.

The probable lineup of Boca against Rosario Central

Considering that Russo is known for making as few changes as possible to the 11 that has been delivering results, everything indicates that Boca will line up with Leandro Brey; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Brian Aguirre, Rodrigo Battaglia, Leandro Paredes, Alan Velasco; Miguel Merentiel and Edinson Cavani.
