Boca missing key player for Belgrano clash | OneFootball

Boca Juniors will have an absence for the match on Saturday against Belgrano de Córdoba at La Bombonera. The Xeneize will play against the Pirate for the 13th round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament without an important player, who is dealing with a discomfort that prevents him from training normally and has sidelined him from the squad.

Edinson Cavani will not be part of the lineup this Saturday, as has been the case in previous matches. The Matador is dealing with a discomfort in the psoas, an area where he suffered a strain, which sidelined him for some matches and he has felt pain in that area of his body again.

Cavani continues to train separately.

The Uruguayan striker will not be available for the match against Belgrano, as has been the case in previous games. With this match, it will be the fourth consecutive one he will miss with the team. Although his position is well covered, his absence is felt.

Cavani played 21 matches during the 2025 season but missed 15 times due to various injuries. He scored 4 goals and assisted 2 times. His spot on the field will be taken by the same player who replaced him in previous times: Milton Giménez. The former Banfield player will continue to partner with Miguel Merentiel in the attack.

Without Cavani, Boca's lineup vs Belgrano

The Xeneize will face the Pirate this Saturday from 6 PM at La Bombonera with only one change compared to the team that started the thrashing over Newell’s in the last match played, as the duel against Barracas Central was postponed due to the death of Miguel Ángel Russo.

The Xeneize will make only one change: Palacios for Velasco (injured).

Barring any issues, Boca will line up with Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Brian Aguirre, Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo Battaglia, Carlos Palacios, Milton Giménez, and Miguel Merentiel.
