Boca today: Úbeda starts shaping the team, when Paredes returns and more | OneFootball

The latest news from Boca today: The team is training with Belgrano de Córdoba, their next opponent, in mind, and Claudio Úbeda must begin to decide who will start this match for date 13 of the Torneo Clausura. The coach, who replaces Miguel Ángel Russo, has to find a replacement due to the significant injury loss of one of his starters.

Úbeda will have five days to decide who will play in place of Alan Velasco after his knee injury. The attacking midfielder will be out for several weeks and the head coach will have to decide whether to put Carlos Palacios back in the starting lineup, restoring the spot he had before his own injury, or to bet on another name like Kevin Zenón, who has been getting minutes after a long period of inactivity.

Boca trained today in Ezeiza

This Monday’s training session took place at the Ezeiza complex, where the players did physical work and another part focused on finishing. The specific ball drills pitted attacking and defensive players against each other in small spaces.

Cavani in doubt

The Uruguayan center forward is experiencing discomfort in the same area where he was previously injured and had to undergo tests to see if he has relapsed. For now, the Xeneize club has not released any information, and an official medical report is awaited to know for certain whether he will be available on Saturday against Belgrano or will miss this match. If he cannot play, the coach will keep the attacking duo of Milton Giménez and Miguel Merentiel.

When Paredes returns from the National Team

Leandro Paredes is going through a busy schedule. The midfielder is in the United States with the Argentine National Team, where he took part in the win over Venezuela last Friday. Now, he awaits the second friendly of this FIFA date against Puerto Rico, though with an unexpected change: the match, initially scheduled for this Monday in Chicago, was rescheduled for Tuesday in Fort Lauderdale, at Inter Miami’s stadium. This means the number 5 will return to the country a day later than planned.

Paredes is in the United States.

The change in the friendly is not the only setback. Matchday 13 of the Torneo Clausura has Boca playing at home against Belgrano on Saturday, not Sunday as expected. This further reduces Paredes’ rest time, as he will have just three days between his return and the club commitment.

The Boca captain will join training midweek. A training session is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at La Bombonera with football included, although it’s not clear if he’ll be able to participate. In the previous FIFA date, Paredes returned directly from Ecuador to the club’s facility. If he can’t make it on Wednesday this time, his return would take place on Thursday morning in Ezeiza.
