Merentiel and Cavani train together, could return to Boca squad | OneFootball

Boca returned to training after their victory against Newell’s and received a double dose of good news: Miguel Merentiel and Edinson Cavani trained alongside the rest of the squad, which means they are now being considered as possible call-ups for the match against Vélez, in Liniers.

Both forwards participated in ball work and football drills, a positive sign amid a context marked by injuries. Merentiel appears to be in a better position, as he is nearing 21 days of recovery after the tear he suffered in the friendly against Olimpia, while Cavani continues with a gradual return to form and could, at best, make the bench.

Meanwhile, Claudio Úbeda was pleased with Gonzalo Gelini’s performance as a left winger, and all indications are that the young player will once again be among the starting eleven. The coach is looking to maintain a core group and recover key players to face a tough away game against El Fortín.
