Williams Alarcón left out of the squad and could leave Boca | OneFootball

Chilean midfielder Williams Alarcón is not part of the squad list for the Copa Sudamericana clash. The coach decided to leave him out for performance-related reasons, and his future could be away from the blue-and-gold club, with a concrete offer from abroad.

Xeneize’s squad completed its morning training session at the Ezeiza training ground with its mind set on the international tournament. Rodolfo Arruabarrena planned the team for this Tuesday’s crucial match against Deportivo Recoleta, the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 16. The list of called-up players brought major news and firm decisions.

On one hand, the Vasco is celebrating the medical clearance of Carlos Palacios and Tomás Belmonte, who rejoin Boca’s first-team dynamic after recovering from their respective injuries. On the other hand, the coaching staff made the strong decision to leave both the Chilean midfielder and Milton Giménez out of the squad. Both absences are strictly for technical reasons.

The team from La Ribera is coming off a draw against Vélez Sarsfield at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium, the same venue where it will play at home in continental competition. In that match, the team did enough to earn all three points, but lacked the necessary finishing touch in the final third. Now, the need to gain an advantage in the cup tie is pushing the coach to rely only on the players who are currently in better physical and footballing form.

Williams Alarcón’s future

Williams Alarcón’s exclusion from the squad list is no minor detail for the board, which is already analyzing concrete options for the player in this transfer window. On the club offices’ table, there is a formal offer from a Major League Soccer franchise to take the midfielder on loan.

Although details of the North American club and the figures involved in the deal have not yet emerged, his departure from the club from La Ribera appears to be on track. A possible exit for the Chilean would open up a spot in the squad, a situation the board will assess alongside the coaching staff to determine whether it is necessary to bring in a replacement.
