Claudio Úbeda makes surprise call ahead of Talleres clash | OneFootball

Boca finalizes the details to host Talleres from Córdoba this Sunday at La Bombonera. The Xeneize will face the Matador in the round of 16 of the Torneo Clausura and will do so without a player who had been a regular on the bench by decision of Claudio Úbeda.

The head coach decided to exclude Lucas Janson from the list of called-up players for this decisive match because there is no tomorrow: if they win, they qualify, and if they lose, they are out of the championship.

Lucas Janson had been a regular on the bench, so the decision is surprising. However, it is important to highlight that he played very little this semester. In fact, he only played 5 minutes in a forgettable match against Defensa y Justicia. The rest of the forward's appearances were as an alternative, and he did not enter the field.

Janson is left out of the call-up.

In addition to Lucas Janson, the head coach decided that two more players would be left out due to the return of Milton Giménez and Lautaro Di Lollo. The ones who will be removed from the list are Mateo Mendía and Valentino Simoni, the reserve players who were temporarily included against Tigre.

Claudio Úbeda finalized the list of called-up players to face Talleres.

The departure of the former Vélez forward is due to the return of Rodrigo Battaglia. The midfielder has recovered from the muscle tear that sidelined him from several matches and will return to the call-up. Thus, there will be 24 players in the squad that begins on Friday night in anticipation of Sunday's match.
