Will Cavani make the Superclásico? The striker’s outlook | OneFootball

Sunday will mark 56 days since Edinson Cavani's last match, when Boca faced Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito. Since then, the Uruguayan striker has been sidelined from competition due to a persistent inflammation in his psoas, an ailment that has prevented him from training normally with the rest of the squad. His progress throughout the week will be crucial in determining whether he can be present for the much-anticipated Superclásico.

This Tuesday stands out as a turning point. If he manages to join the group training session without any issues, the possibility will open up to evaluate his performance over the coming days. In that scenario, the coaching staff led by Claudio Úbeda will analyze whether the striker is fit to be called up and take a spot among the substitutes on Sunday against River.

Cavani last played on September 14 against Rosario Central.

Nevertheless, even if Edinson Cavani joins today’s practice without discomfort, his inclusion in the starting eleven seems unlikely. It would be surprising if, after almost two months of inactivity and without having completed a full week of training with the team, El Matador were considered to start.

The expectations surrounding his recovery are high, but the coaching staff is prioritizing not rushing his return. The final decision will depend on how the player responds in upcoming training sessions and the corresponding medical evaluation. For now, his presence on the bench appears to be the most viable option, as long as he manages to overcome the physical issues that have kept him sidelined.
