Boca on alert: Leonel Flores gets Argentina call-up from Scaloni | OneFootball

Boca forward Leonel Flores has been called up by Lionel Scaloni to join the Argentina national team during the FIFA international window. The attacker will alternate training sessions in Ezeiza with the crucial matches Boca will have to face in the coming days.

The outstanding level Flores has been showing in the blue and gold shirt has not gone unnoticed by the national team coaching staff. Through goals, an ability to unbalance defenses in the final third, and enviable tactical maturity, the striker is establishing himself as an undroppable piece in Xeneize’s starting lineup.

According to the scheduled plan, the forward will begin his work at the Lionel Andrés Messi training complex in Ezeiza, but he will not neglect the sporting interests of the club from La Ribera. The player will be temporarily released to play two key matches in the packed schedule of Arruabarrena’s team. In this way, his presence is guaranteed against Racing in the Copa Argentina on Sunday, September 27, and against Unión in the Clausura Tournament on October 4.

Scaloni cannot count on Paredes because of his suspension.

Once both commitments with the blue and gold side are over, Flores will immediately return to the Albiceleste camp to place himself at Scaloni’s disposal. There, he will prepare for the series of international matches the national team will play on Argentine soil against Bolivia, Burkina Faso, and Benin.

How Flores’ call-up was received at Boca

The striker’s call-up brings deep pride to the halls of Brandsen 805, but it also forces Boca’s coaching staff to put together a physical contingency plan. The run of high-intensity training sessions and decisive matches will require perfect workload management to avoid any kind of muscle injury.

Flores gets his chance with the national team.

A special element surrounding this call-up is the strong possibility that the Albiceleste’s match against Burkina Faso will be played at La Bombonera. If the venue at the Temple is confirmed, Flores could experience a dream day, defending his country’s colors in his own backyard and in front of the unwavering support of the Xeneize crowd.
