Sebastián Villa misses Boca training with fever, in doubt for Unión | OneFootball

Sebastián Villa missed Boca's morning session with a fever, putting his involvement against Unión de Santa Fe at La Bombonera in doubt.

LaNumer12.com.ar reports that the Colombian arrived at Ezeiza with fever symptoms and the medical staff ordered immediate rest to avoid further strain and complications.

As a result, coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena could not use him in a scheduled training match against a youth side, forcing tactical adjustments during the workout.

His progress will be monitored before Friday's 21:30 kick-off. A return to training within the next 24 hours would keep him in contention to feature.

A recall for Villa looks possible given Leonel Flores has logged consecutive minutes in the position. The youngster is on Argentina duty and is due back on Thursday after the friendly against Bolivia.

Should he be available, Villa would have a strong chance of starting, having begun seven of the 17 games since his return to Boca. His most recent start was on 11 September against Central Córdoba.
