Leandro Paredes on the verge of suspension | OneFootball

The defeat of Boca Juniors against Belgrano de Córdoba not only left a bitter taste due to the lost points at La Bombonera, but also raised an alarm for the Xeneize coaching staff: Leandro Paredes, captain and team leader, is on the verge of suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

The midfielder was booked by referee Pablo Dovalo towards the end of the first half after committing a foul on Lucas Passerini. This card adds to those he had already received in matches against Huracán, Aldosivi, and Central Córdoba, leaving him with four bookings in the tournament. One more, and he will have to serve a suspension.

Leandro Paredes was booked against Belgrano.

The situation is particularly concerning due to the upcoming schedule. Boca will face Barracas Central on Monday, October 27 at 4 PM, and then Estudiantes de La Plata, before the much-anticipated Superclásico against River. The dilemma for Paredes — and also for Lautaro Di Lollo, who is in the same situation with four yellow cards — is clear: to be extremely cautious to avoid another card, or to intentionally get the fifth booking against Barracas and serve the suspension against Estudiantes, arriving clean for the clash against their eternal rival.

The decision will not be easy, but the fact is that the Xeneize captain is walking a tightrope. One more yellow card, and Boca will lose one of its pillars right at a crucial point in the championship.

Paredes faces a dilemma.

Not seen on TV: the yellow card received by Leandro Paredes

The broadcast missed the card that Paredes received from the referee during the match against Belgrano. However, a camera captured the moment and recorded the report submitted by Dóvalo, which caught everyone's attention because it was not visible to the general public.

The yellow card was exaggerated, as the images clearly show that Paredes collided with the Belgrano player unintentionally, and the forward fell when he felt the contact. The fact is that the yellow card was issued to the Xeneize midfielder, and now he must decide whether to get booked or be cautious.
