Úbeda’s only doubt at Boca as Cruzeiro come to town | OneFootball

Boca head coach Claudio Úbeda has one doubt in his starting lineup for this Tuesday’s Copa Libertadores clash against Cruzeiro. El Sifón still has to decide who will start and clear up this uncertainty in the coming hours.

The team had its final training session ahead of Tuesday’s match at La Bombonera against the Brazilians on matchday five of the group stage. There, Boca will be playing for almost all of its chances of qualifying for the round of 16.

To get a win that keeps its hopes alive heading into the final matchday, the coach will field the best team available. But he will wait until the last moment to know whether Giménez is physically fit to play.

The striker trained separately in the last two sessions before today, when he rejoined full training with the rest of his teammates and responded well. The former Banfield player had discomfort in his ankle, which is why it is still unclear whether he will be able to start the match.

Romero or Giménez, the only doubt for the Xeneize.

If Giménez is unable to start, El Sifón Úbeda has decided that Romero will replace him. Or rather, that the Paraguayan will take the place of Adam Bareiro, who played in that position in the last match. His compatriot suffered an injury against Huracán that ruled him out of this game.

That being the case, the coach still has a doubt in the lineup, and we will have to wait until a few hours before kickoff to know how the Xeneize will line up for the match, which starts at 9:30 p.m. at Alberto J. Armando Stadium.

Boca will make 3 changes against Cruzeiro.
