The Boca regular in doubt for the Barcelona clash | OneFootball

Just hours before their first home match in the 2026 Copa Libertadores, Boca has one of its starting players listed as doubtful. The player will be evaluated in the final training session to determine whether he can start against Barcelona.

The player in question is Uruguayan Miguel Ángel Merentiel. La Bestia is still dealing with pubic discomfort, which he has been carrying since the match against Talleres in Córdoba, where he had to be substituted.

Although he was able to play the second half against Independiente, the issue persists, which is why he remains doubtful for this match that the Xeneize will play against the Ecuadorian side this Tuesday from 9 p.m. at Alberto J. Armando Stadium.

Merentiel is doubtful for Boca against Barcelona.

The squad will train this Monday afternoon, and that is when Claudio Úbeda will clear up the uncertainty that exists at this time. The rest of the team would be Agustín Marchesín in goal. The starting back four would be Marcelo Weigandt, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa and Lautaro Blanco.

In midfield, Santiago Ascacíbar, Leandro Paredes, Milton Delgado and Tomás Aranda will play as the link with the forwards, with Adam Bareiro already confirmed to start the match. If Miguel Merentiel is not fit in time and cannot play, Milton Giménez will take his place.

Úbeda is deciding the lineup.
