After the last practice in Ezeiza, Claudio Úbeda announced the list of players called up for Boca to host Newell’s Old Boys this Sunday at La Bombonera. The coach included the new signings: Santiago Ascacíbar and Ángel Romero, who will be in the squad for the first time to play.
The team completed the final training session before the match for the third date of the Torneo Apertura 2026. The Xeneize is all set to host the Rosarian Lepra at the Alberto J. Armando stadium after the defeat against Estudiantes in La Plata.
Except for the lineup, which is a mystery because Claudio Úbeda practiced with more changes and altered what he had planned compared to yesterday's practice. What is certain are the players who will be in the squad tonight awaiting tomorrow's match at 19:15.

Boca seeks to recover from the defeat against Estudiantes.
Santiago Ascacíbar and Ángel Romero will be in the squad for the first time with the Xeneize team. Both reinforcements are ready to debut, but only the Ruso would start from the beginning. The youngsters Iker Zufiaurre, Gonzalo Gelini, and Tomás Aranda remain on the list, and the first two have great chances of playing this match.
