Facundo Herrera to start for Boca at La Bombonera against Lanús | OneFootball

Facundo Herrera will start for Boca against Lanús at La Bombonera, his first appearance at the stadium, in the seventh round of the Clausura.

According to LaNumer12.com.ar, the 20-year-old centre-back earns his place after strong displays in the past two matches. Boca return to their ground after more than a month hosting fixtures in Parque Patricios.

Herrera logged his first senior minutes in the Copa Sudamericana tie against Recoleta in Paraguay. That showing put him forward as a real option for Vasco Arruabarrena from the bench.

When Ayrton Costa was injured in the derby with Racing at El Cilindro de Avellaneda, "Jagger" played the entire second half and stood out among the best on the pitch.

Boca now look to shake off their run of draws and take three points at home, and Herrera aims to maintain that level tonight against Lanús.
