Janson up front: the line-up Úbeda tested to face Riestra | OneFootball

Boca trained this afternoon at La Bombonera and Claudio Úbeda conducted a formal football practice. During the session, he tested Lucas Janson as the center forward due to Miguel Merentiel's absence because of injury. The former Tigre and Vélez player is set to start on Sunday against Riestra.

The coach decided to maintain the routine from the final stretch of the championship once he took charge of the team: Thursday practices at the Alberto J. Armando stadium. With the aim of acclimatizing the players to where they will play on Sunday, Sifón arranged a formal 11 vs 11 football scrimmage.

Janson is expected to start against Riestra.

The main team consisted of Agustín Marchesín as the goalkeeper. The line of four defenders included Juan Barinaga and Lautaro Blanco on the flanks, with Lautaro Di Lollo and Ayrton Costa as the central pair.

In midfield, one of the novelties was the inclusion of Tomás Belmonte instead of Milton Delgado, while the other two spots were occupied by Leandro Paredes and Ander Herrera, as they started in the friendly against Olimpia.

The forward line was as previously mentioned: Lucas Janson as the center forward, with Alan Velasco and Exequiel Zeballos on the sides. This setup is the initial one because as the minutes progress, the former Dallas attacking midfielder moves more freely in the center, as happened in the last preparation match.

Boca kicks off the official competition.

In this way, Boca would have the team ready for their debut in the Torneo Apertura against Riestra, a match that will take place this Sunday at 18:30 hours at La Bombonera with Sebastián Zunino as the referee.
