Boca’s squad traveled to the north of the country to play their final preseason friendly against Paranaense. Vasco Arruabarrena’s coaching staff announced the list of players called up for this warm-up match in Salta, where they will look to gain competitive minutes.
The delegation from the blue and gold club set off for a demanding test ahead of the imminent start of official competition. The coach put together a squad list that keeps the core from last semester and gives several youngsters some playing time. The main idea is to fine-tune the team’s overall play against an opponent of international caliber.
Unlike in other periods, the board approached the transfer window in an extremely austere way, and the Xeneize side has just one new signing for this part of the year. For that reason, the tactical rehearsal in the northern province will be key to consolidating the partnerships already in place. The team’s leaders will aim to arrive in top physical and footballing condition.

Among the names called up is not Tomás Aranda, who stayed in Buenos Aires to manage his workload. Adam Bareiro is not included either, as he is still recovering from a muscle tear and has not yet been able to rejoin the group.
As for arrivals, Leandro Lozano, the team’s only signing so far in this transfer window, is available to play in the match. Also notable are youngsters Dylan Gorosito, Camilo Rey Domenech, and Leonel Flores. Carlos Palacios is also among the call-ups, which is worth highlighting because he did not play throughout the entire previous semester.
Goalkeepers: Leandro Brey and Javier García.
Defenders: Leandro Lozano, Dylan Gorosito, Lautaro Di Lollo, Nicolás Figal, Ayrton Costa, Marco Pellegrino, Lautaro Blanco, and Malcom Braida.
Midfielders: Santiago Ascacíbar, Tomás Belmonte, Camilo Rey Doménech, Milton Delgado, Williams Alarcón, Carlos Palacios, Kevin Zenón, and Alan Velasco.
Forwards: Miguel Merentiel, Milton Giménez, Ángel Romero, and Leonel Flores.
The international clash will take place starting at 9:00 p.m. Argentina time at Padre Martearena Stadium. The province of Salta will once again be in celebration mode to welcome Boca, with tickets still available. Excitement across the country’s interior is at its peak to see the team led by Boca’s strategist in action.
