Boca name squad for the Superclásico against River | OneFootball

Claudio Úbeda named the squad of 24 players for Sunday’s clash 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 list of 24 players called up for the Superclásico against River Plate, which will be played this Sunday starting at 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 footballing reasons.

Added to those absences are the injury-enforced losses of Agustín Marchesín, Rodrigo Battaglia, Carlos Palacios and Edinson Cavani, which forced the coach to reshuffle the squad list. In that context, Zenón has slipped down the pecking order, while Janson was also sidelined after having played a key role at the start of the year. Meanwhile, Martegani has not played a single minute in more than a year.

In goal, Boca will have only Leandro Brey and Javier García available due to the starter’s injury. The squad will gather from 11 p.m. at a hotel in Ezeiza, looking 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.
