The Boca squad continues preparing for the match against Racing in the semifinal of the Torneo Clausura. Claudio Úbeda’s team is training in double sessions this Wednesday, as has become customary for the group under the instructions of the Xeneize coaching staff.
All players, except one, are able to train normally. The only footballer who did not train alongside the rest in the first session of the day was Ander Herrera. The Spaniard has discomfort in his hamstrings that prevented him from working with the rest of the group.
The opposite is true for Alan Velasco, who was able to train with his teammates, leaving behind the knee injury that kept him off the field for several matches, and he is now expected to be fit for selection by Sifón.

Ander Herrera trained separately.
In this way, Claudio Úbeda will wait for Ander Herrera’s progress to see if he can join his teammates for the afternoon session or if he will be rested to manage his workload. Tomorrow will be the usual football practice at La Bombonera, where the coach will begin to define the team.
The coach’s idea is to repeat the same eleven who started the 1-0 victory over Argentinos Juniors. If so, it would be the third consecutive match in which he can use the same winning formula.
The Professional Football League must decide who will be the referee for the match that Xeneize will play on Sunday, December 7 against La Academia at La Bombonera. It is already known that the match will kick off at 7:00 p.m., and confirmation of the referee who will officiate is awaited.

Boca will host Racing on Sunday.
One of the strongest candidates is Darío Herrera. The referee officiated Boca’s match two games ago, as he was the main referee against Tigre on November 16, also at La Bombonera, for matchday 16 of the championship.
