Bareiro unveiled online, trains and set for Copa Argentina debut | OneFootball

While Úbeda is considering a starting eleven with mostly substitutes and players in need of playing time, the brand-new signing trained alongside his new teammates and could make his official debut this Tuesday in Salta, against Gimnasia de Chivilcoy.

With their minds set on Tuesday’s match for the Copa Argentina against Gimnasia de Chivilcoy, Boca had another morning training session this Saturday, with the main highlight being the presence of Adam Bareiro, the team’s latest addition.

The Paraguayan striker—who was present during the goalless draw against Racing on Friday at La Bombonera—arrived early at the Ezeiza training complex and worked out with his new teammates. Meanwhile, those who played against the Academia did recovery work, while those who didn’t play had a formal football session with youth players. At the same time, on social media, Xeneize officially welcomed the striker, sharing the first photo of him in the club’s kit.

Now then, what team will Claudio Úbeda field against Gimnasia de Chivilcoy? At first glance, and given the proximity to the match against Racing, the coach’s idea is to present a team made up mostly of substitutes, and even give Bareiro the chance to get his first minutes with Xeneize. Thus, players like Nicolás Figal, Marco Pellegrino, and even Malcom Braida could get some playing time. At the same time, the possibility of Leandro Brey being the goalkeeper for the match in Salta is also gaining traction after Saturday’s training session.

Therefore, while waiting for further decisions, Boca’s possible starting eleven to face Gimnasia de Chivilcoy on Tuesday, for the Copa Argentina, would be: Brey or Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Figal, Pellegrino, Braida; Tomás Aranda, Milton Delgado, Tomás Belmonte, Iker Zufiaurre or Gonzalo Gelini; Ángel Romero and Miguel Merentiel or Adam Bareiro.

The possibility of the former San Lorenzo, River, and Fortaleza player making his debut will depend on how he looks in his first training sessions with the squad. While it’s true that he was playing for Fortaleza and even scored a goal in the semifinal of the Campeonato Cearense against Ferroviario, the reality is that he will need to adapt to his new teammates in order to aspire to a starting spot. Thus, everything seems to indicate that he is more likely to start on the bench and perhaps come on during the match, rather than start from the beginning in Salta.
