Boca eye Estudiantes clash: one out, a few doubts remain | OneFootball

After the 3-1 victory over Barracas Central, Boca turned the page and is already thinking about the next match. Although the players have a day off, the coaching staff has already begun analyzing the available options to replace Leandro Paredes, the confirmed absence for the team’s visit to Estudiantes in La Plata.

The team led by Claudio Úbeda has the day off after securing the important victory at the Claudio Fabian Tapia stadium. Some players finished the match with minor physical discomfort. Agustín Marchesín, Juan Barinaga, and Miguel Merentiel ended the game with some knocks, but they are expected to be available for the next match without any issues.

The confirmed absence for the Xeneize due to the suspension of Leandro Paredes, who received his fifth yellow card, would likely be filled by Ander Herrera. The Spaniard is the midfielder with the best chance of taking the spot left vacant by the absence of the world champion, who will return for the Superclásico.

The coach also has the option of bringing in Williams Alarcón or even Tomás Belmonte, who returned to play some minutes against Barracas Central after three months. The truth is that “Sifón” Úbeda will have four training sessions to decide who will start the match that will be played on Sunday at 4 p.m. at the UNO Jorge Luis Hirschi stadium.
