The youngsters Arruabarrena called up for Boca's pre-season start | OneFootball

This Thursday, June 18, Boca’s first-team squad will return to training to officially kick off a new preseason under Rodolfo Arruabarrena. El Vasco, at the start of his second spell in charge of the team, decided to include youngsters Leonel Flores, Dylan Gorosito, and Camilo Rey Domenech on the call-up list to work alongside the group.

The head coach is once again taking on the challenge of leading the blue-and-gold institution, and his first major sporting decision is to strengthen the youth setup. The board made it clear that the football project of the club from La Ribera is largely sustained by the constant contribution of its youth divisions. In this context of renewal, the coaching staff will take a close look at three prospects who have been making a strong case for themselves with solid performances.

Among those called up are names that already know what it means to wear the blue and gold shirt in the top tier of Argentine football. Dylan Gorosito, a solid right-back born in 2006, played his first official minutes in the draw against Defensa y Justicia in the 2024 league season. His standout performances for the reserves caught El Vasco’s attention.

Meanwhile, midfielder Camilo Rey Domenech made his senior debut in the 2025 Copa Argentina, coming on in Boca’s rout of Argentino de Monte Maíz, and he was part of the first-team squad for much of the first half of the year under Claudio Úbeda.

According to reports, Fernando Gago wants him for his team. Pintita is currently managing Universidad de Chile and coached him at Boca; in fact, he was the one who promoted him to the first team. Since the former midfielder included him in the senior squad, he has alternated with the reserve team.

The big surprise on this list is the inclusion of Leonel Flores, a promising 2007-born forward who has yet to make his First Division debut. His impressive physical presence and technical ability with the reserves caught Arruabarrena’s eye and earned him a place in the high-intensity sessions.

The young attacker will look to make the most of this outstanding opportunity to earn a place in the Boca coach’s plans. The reserve team is already too small a stage for the striker from Béccar, who continues to stand out game after game in Mariano Herrón’s side.

The bet on these three youngsters responds to a strategic need to inject the squad with fresh blood and a deep sense of belonging. While the board analyzes the options available in the transfer market to strengthen key areas, the development of homegrown talent provides reliable solutions in the short and long term.

Boca will face a demanding semester, so it will need quality alternatives and energy across all lines. The start of physical work will be a real acid test for Gorosito, Rey Domenech, and Flores, who will have to prove they are up to the daily demands of the Boca world.

Arruabarrena knows the halls of La Bombonera inside out and understands perfectly how to handle younger players so they do not feel the weight of the shirt. The fans’ excitement is already building as they wait to see in action the youngsters they keep calling for day after day.
