Álvaro Montero misses Boca v Central Córdoba: who will be in goal | OneFootball

Due to a delicate personal situation, Álvaro Montero will miss the match against Central Córdoba for the ninth round of the local tournament. The Colombian goalkeeper received the corresponding authorization to travel to his home country following the painful passing of his grandmother, news that shook the lead-up to the clash against São Paulo.

The Colombian national team keeper will return to Argentina over the weekend, so the board and coaching staff jointly decided to preserve his rest and give him the necessary time with his loved ones. The unfortunate news forced a reshuffling of the plans ahead of Friday’s match.

With this absence in the protection of the Xeneize goal, Leandro Brey will take on the responsibility of starting at La Bombonera. The young goalkeeper, who has been performing with marked solidity every time he has gotten minutes, will face a highly demanding test to maintain the team’s defensive order. In this way, the blue and gold club keeps its goal in safe hands.

Leandro Brey will replace Álvaro Montero.

In addition to the Colombian’s absence, there is also the unavoidable need to manage physical loads during a decisive stretch of the semester. Rodolfo Arruabarrena will make considerable rotations in the team’s structure, driven by the demanding schedule of competing on three fronts. The manager is looking to give the Boca side freshness and dynamism.

Besides Álvaro Montero, Boca has another absence

Among the squad updates, it was also confirmed that Camilo Rey Domenech suffered an untimely muscle injury that rules him out completely for this match. The promising midfielder had a strong chance of being in the starting lineup as a support piece in the team’s passing circuit. His unexpected issue will force changes to the midfield alternatives, opening the door to other defensive options.

Camilo Rey Domenech will also miss the match.

With the picture now clear, the Xeneize side is shaping up with a lineup full of changes to face the team from Santiago del Estero. The likely eleven from La Ribera would take the field with Brey in goal; Gorosito, Figal, Pellegrino and Satas or Blanco at the back; Alarcón, Belmonte and Palacios making up the midfield trio; Velasco as the playmaker; while Valencia and Villa would lead the attack in search of an offensive edge.

The match corresponding to the ninth round of the Torneo Clausura will be played this Friday, September 11, starting at 9:30 p.m. at Alberto J. Armando Stadium. The match will be officiated by referee Yael Falcón Pérez, assisted from the VAR booth by Yamil Possi, with official broadcast coverage by ESPN Premium. The blue and gold side will look to lean on the support of its fans to claim all three points and stay firmly in the title race.
