Rodolfo Arruabarrena confirms Boca XI for Racing Copa Argentina quarter-final | OneFootball

Rodolfo Arruabarrena has finalised Boca’s line-up to face Racing in the Copa Argentina quarter-finals, making one enforced change. With Leandro Brey replacing Álvaro Montero in goal, the Xeneize aim to secure a semi-final place.

According to LaNumer12.com.ar, the switch is dictated by the FIFA international window, with Montero called up by Colombia. Club president Juan Román Riquelme contacted Néstor Lorenzo in an effort to keep the goalkeeper, but the national coach declined, considering him important to his plans.

Arruabarrena will otherwise keep faith with the side that impressed against San Lorenzo last time out. The tactical core remains intact.

Boca’s starting XI comprises Leandro Brey, Leandro Lozano, Lautaro Di Lollo, Facundo Herrera, Lautaro Blanco, Santiago Ascacibar, Leandro Paredes, Milton Delgado, Leonel Flores, Miguel Merentiel and Alan Velasco. Head coach: Rodolfo Arruabarrena.

The Azul y Oro arrive in good shape, a run that has encouraged supporters. They are into the Copa Sudamericana semi-finals and remain in the upper positions of the Clausura and the Annual Table.

Kick-off is at 17:00 at the Gigante de Arroyito. Andrés Gariano is the referee, Lucas Novelli is on VAR, and television coverage is on TyC Sports.
