Boca’s options to replace Rodrigo Battaglia | OneFootball

Five days before the match, Rodrigo Battaglia suffered a muscle injury and was ruled out for Boca Juniors' visit to Barracas Central. The midfielder will not be able to participate in the match to be played at the Claudio Fabián Tapia stadium, and therefore, Claudio Úbeda must decide on his replacement.

Boca's coach has four options on the table to determine who will play in place of Rodrigo Battaglia, who suffered a tear in the soleus of his left leg and will not be able to start, something he has been doing regularly.

Battaglia will be out for 3 to 4 weeks.

The four players Úbeda is considering

One of the strongest options for “Sifón” Úbeda is Ander Herrera, with whom Leandro Paredes has a good understanding. The world champion was a teammate of the Spaniard at PSG, and they already know what it's like to share the field.

Another possibility is the inclusion of Milton Delgado. The young player returned from his stint with the Argentina U-20 National Team, with whom he had a great World Cup and achieved the runner-up position. The Boca player stood out and was awarded the Bronze Ball.

Williams Alarcón also has a chance to compete for the spot left vacant by Rodrigo Battaglia's injury. The Chilean has been gaining minutes coming off the bench and could appear in the midfield.

Tomás Belmonte seems to have the least chance, as he is not considered by the coaching staff and has had little participation since joining the Xeneize. The former Lanús player has played only four matches since this coaching staff took over and never played the full 90 minutes. He accumulated 70' against Benfica and Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup and then 30' against Argentinos and later 74' against Huracán.
