Claudio Úbeda’s key decision may shape Lucas Blondel’s Boca future | OneFootball

Boca comes from a goalless draw against Millonarios, and ahead of their debut in the Torneo Apertura, where they will host Deportivo Riestra on Sunday, January 25, Claudio Úbeda’s team will have to face their last preseason friendly: this weekend against Olimpia, in San Nicolás de los Arroyos.

There will be a major rotation of players so that everyone can get some minutes after the intense training sessions. And there is one player in particular who has the chance to turn his situation around: Lucas Blondel.

The right back, who previously played for Atlético Rafaela and Tigre, hasn’t played in the blue and gold jersey since May of last year, when he played the full 90 minutes against Independiente. Since then, he hasn’t even been included in the squad list for the matches.

Just as Blondel could be part of the starting lineup against the Decano, those also in contention to start are Tomás Belmonte, Kevin Zenón, and Alan Velasco. In fact, they were part of the team that Úbeda fielded against the Reserve during Thursday’s training session.

Leandro Brey; Lucas Blondel, Nicolás Figal, Marco Pellegrino, Malcom Braida; Santiago Dalmasso, Tomás Belmonte, Agustín Martegani; Kevin Zenón, Lucas Janson, and Alan Velasco were the ones who made up the lineup during the morning training session.
