Goodbye to the two-striker setup?

A few conclusions can be drawn from today’s football practice, beyond Changuito Zeballos being left out. Vasco fielded two teams, and in neither did he play with both No. 9s together.

In the first team, he lined up Miguel Merentiel alongside Leonel Flores, while in the second, Milton Giménez was partnered by Ángel Romero. In addition, both teams had a playmaker/link man: Tomás Aranda in Team 1 and Carlos Palacios in Team 2.

The other absence in training

Changuito Zeballos was not the only player who did not take part in the football session. Kevin Zenón was also absent, although his absence was due to a physical issue.

The midfielder, formerly of Unión de Santa Fe, has a soleus problem. This issue kept him from joining the rest of his teammates in today’s session, but it is not believed to be serious, and his absence would only be precautionary.

Zeballos left out of the football session

Exequiel Zeballos did not take part in the football session by decision of the coach. Changuito still has not resolved his future, and Vasco decided he would not be part of the team he put on the field to face a mixed side in an informal practice match.

The forward has Boca’s offer to renew his contract, which expires at the end of the year, but he still has not responded. In this regard, he reportedly expressed his intention to be transferred in this transfer window, and for that reason Vasco would have sidelined him from the team.
