Boca name squad for Superclásico against River | OneFootball

Claudio Úbeda announced the list of 24 players for Sunday’s match at the Monumental, with several absences due to injury and tactical decisions.

After Friday’s training session at the Boca Juniors training ground, Claudio Úbeda finalized the squad of 24 called up for the Superclásico against River Plate, which will be played this Sunday from 5 p.m. at the Monumental stadium. Among the main developments are the absences of Kevin Zenón, Lucas Janson and Agustín Martegani, who were left out for football-related reasons.

Added to these absences are the injury-enforced ones of Agustín Marchesín, Rodrigo Battaglia, Carlos Palacios and Edinson Cavani, which forced the coach to reshuffle the list. In that context, Zenón lost ground in the manager’s plans, while Janson was also pushed down the pecking order after having played a prominent role at the start of the year. Martegani, meanwhile, has not played a single minute for more than a year.

In goal, Boca will only have Leandro Brey and Javier García, due to the first-choice keeper’s injury. The squad will gather from 11 p.m. at a hotel in Ezeiza, seeking to reduce distractions and strengthen team bonding ahead of a key match. On Saturday morning, they will hold their final training session before the clásico.
