Boca back in training, Úbeda to keep same XI v Argentinos | OneFootball

After defeating Talleres 2-0 in the round of 16 of the Torneo Clausura and having Monday off, Boca returned to training with the upcoming match against Argentinos Juniors in the quarterfinals in mind. All the players finished the match against Talleres in optimal condition, and it's very likely that Claudio Úbeda will repeat the lineup.

Another piece of good news for the Xeneize is that they are gradually recovering their players, and except for Alan Velasco, who is still in the recovery process from his right knee ligament strain, Sifón has the entire squad available.

Rodrigo Battaglia, who returned to play last Sunday after missing four matches, is now training alongside the group; meanwhile, Edinson Cavani, who also played against the Cordoban team and had done so against Tigre, is increasingly practicing at the same pace as his teammates.

Even though it's most likely that Úbeda will repeat the team, there is a possibility that Milton Giménez might be left out of the starting eleven to add another midfielder. This is because Boca struggled during the early minutes of the match against Talleres with the opponent's good ball control, and Argentinos is a similar team, with many technically skilled players who, with confidence, can pose a threat to anyone. Another option, the most likely as of today, is for the coach to make some tactical adjustments, especially in the defensive section, but with the same players.

In the football practice next Thursday at La Bombonera, more details are expected regarding the starting eleven for the upcoming weekend's match. In the next few hours, the AFA will announce the day and time for the quarterfinal clash.
