Scaloni to release Leonel Flores for Boca v Unión | OneFootball

The federation confirmed that Lionel Scaloni will release Leonel Flores after the friendly against Bolivia, leaving the forward available for Boca Juniors' Torneo Clausura meeting with Unión on Friday.

Flores is in the squad for Wednesday's 21:00 kick-off at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Córdoba. It is not confirmed whether he will start or come off the bench, or even make his debut, but he will be part of the travelling group.

After the match, he will travel to Buenos Aires and join Thursday morning training under Rodolfo Arruabarrena. Boca's staff will quickly assess his condition, mindful of a sustained workload with club fixtures and national team sessions.

The league fixture, part of matchday 11 of the Torneo Clausura 2026, is set for Friday 2 October at 21:30 at the Alberto J. Armando. The game will be shown on ESPN Premium.

Boca arrive on the back of a Copa Argentina win and aim to extend a 15-match unbeaten run. They have not beaten Unión since 2024, and the last three meetings ended 1-1.
