Santiago Ascacíbar will not be at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium tonight, when Boca visits Estudiantes for the Torneo Apertura. The midfielder, a recent addition to the Xeneize, will not attend the match with the delegation by the club's decision, in a context marked by the discontent caused by his departure in La Plata.

The midfielder was officially presented this Tuesday and has already trained with the team, although it was known from the start that he would not play. What was uncertain was his presence at the stadium, but Boca ultimately decided to keep him away due to the adverse atmosphere at Estudiantes following his transfer.

The discontent was evident both on social media and in institutional gestures, and it also spread to the Pincha locker room, where some leaders did not hide their anger over the manner of the now-former captain's departure.

The Boca coaching staff's plan is for Ascacíbar to have more training sessions before officially debuting. His debut could take place next Sunday, when the Xeneize hosts Newell’s at the Bombonera for the third round of the tournament.
