Boca squad for Platense clash: Cavani returns | OneFootball

After the last practice in Ezeiza, Claudio Úbeda announced the list of Boca's called-up players to face Platense this Sunday for the fifth round of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. The Xeneize coach confirmed the return of Edinson Cavani.

The Ribera team will host the Calamar this Sunday at 7:30 PM at La Bombonera, featuring the return of the Matador, who has overcome the back pain that sidelined him from the start of the official competition.

Although he may not start as a regular, the 39-year-old Uruguayan will be with the team for the first time this year and could get some minutes coming off the bench. His recovery is good news for the coach, who in the previous match included Miguel Merentiel after he recovered from his injury. Gradually, he is getting his players back.

In addition to the return of the center forward, the team will also see the return of Lucas Janson. The former Vélez and Tigre player has also recovered from the muscle injury that kept him out of several matches. The winger has a better chance of being in the starting lineup.
