Blondel returns, Cavani misses out: Boca squad named for Belgrano clash | OneFootball

El Xeneize prepares to return to competition after emotional days following the passing of Miguel Ángel Russo. The club from La Ribera hopes to stay on the winning path to continue pursuing the goal set by the legendary coach. In that context, Claudio Úbeda announced the squad for Boca vs. Belgrano.

Needing to take all three points at home, Boca will host Belgrano on Matchday 13 of the Clausura Tournament. Ahead of the match, Úbeda revealed the list of 24 players called up to face El Pirata at La Bombonera. Highlights include the return of Lucas Blondel, who logged minutes with the reserves in recent games, and Carlos Palacios, now recovered from his injury.

Edinson Cavani is not included due to a psoas issue, but he’s expected to be back for the lead-up to the Superclásico. Frank Fabra and Ignacio Miramón are also not part of Boca’s squad vs. Belgrano, as they are not in the coaching staff’s plans and are close to ending their spell at the Xeneize club. Finally, Alan Velasco is ruled out due to injury.

Carlos Palacios returns to the squad and will start against Belgrano.
