Boca have Bareiro’s replacement: “I think it’ll be my turn” | OneFootball

Adam Bareiro was sent off in Brazil and will not be able to play in Boca’s next Copa Libertadores match, so the coach looked for his replacement and everything indicates he has already found him. The player himself admitted: “I think it’s going to be my turn.”

After the 2-1 win over Central Córdoba at the Único Madre de Ciudades stadium on the final matchday of the Torneo Apertura regular season, Boca has already switched gears and gone into Copa mode. Looking ahead to its next match, the Xeneize will be without the center forward who has been a regular starter.

Adam Bareiro will not be able to play on Tuesday in Ecuador because of this sending-off.

The sending-off against Cruzeiro for a second yellow means the Paraguayan will be unable to play in the match the club from La Ribera will play this Tuesday on Matchday 4 of the group stage in Ecuador. The most logical replacement just scored a goal in Santiago del Estero.

Milton Giménez is the strongest candidate to take Adam Bareiro’s place this Tuesday starting at 9 p.m. at the Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo stadium in Guayaquil. In fact, the forward said: “Now I think it’ll be my turn again on Tuesday. I’m happy because I’m getting to play, and you have to make the most of it.”

Giménez’s strong form at Boca

The former Banfield striker has put behind him the pubalgia that kept him out of the team for four months, and little by little he is starting to get minutes again. In fact, since his return, he still has not completed a full match. However, that has not stopped him from contributing goals to the team.

Milton Giménez has scored 3 goals in his last 3 starts.

Since his surgery, he has played 7 matches for a total of 213 minutes, which have been enough for him to score 3 goals. One noteworthy stat is that Giménez has 3 goals in his last 3 starts, and this Tuesday he will once again be in the starting eleven. Let’s hope he keeps the streak going.
