Surprise in Boca squad for Defensa y Justicia clash | OneFootball

After the Superclásico win over River, Claudio Úbeda’s Boca visits Defensa y Justicia for Matchday 16 of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. The Xeneize will travel to Florencio Varela with 24 players.

The surprise on the squad list announced by Sifón this afternoon after training is the inclusion of Kevin Zenón. Although it was already expected because Camilo Rey Domenech dropped down to play in the reserve team’s Superclásico, it is still the return of someone who had been left out of call-ups and is a player the coach is looking to bring back to form.

Also still out are Carlos Palacios, Edinson Cavani, Rodrigo Battaglia, and Agustín Marchesín due to their various injuries. The Chilean and the Uruguayan are in the final stage of their recoveries and are close to being considered again by the Xeneize coach.

Úbeda announced the list of called-up players.

Boca’s squad list

Goalkeepers: Leandro Brey and Javier García.

Defenders: Marcelo Weigandt, Juan Barinaga, Nicolás Figal, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Marco Pellegrino, Lautaro Blanco, and Malcom Braida.
