With Paredes available, Úbeda to make just one change | OneFootball

Still in a state of mourning for the death of Miguel Ángel Russo, Boca is working with the focus on returning to action after a weekend without a match against Barracas Central. On Saturday, in a Bombonera that will be filled with emotion to honor Miguelo, the Xeneize will host Belgrano with a team awaiting the return of Leandro Paredes.

The world champion will have his last participation with the Argentine National Team tonight, in the second friendly against Puerto Rico, and on Wednesday afternoon he will rejoin training to be evaluated by Claudio Úbeda's coaching staff. The idea, as long as he doesn't play too many minutes with the Albiceleste and returns in optimal condition, is for him to be a starter.

If there are no physical setbacks, then the Boca lineup that is starting to take shape would only see one change compared to the victory against Newell's: Carlos Palacios will return to the starting lineup for Alan Velasco, who suffered a strain in the internal ligament of his right knee and will need approximately two months to recover.

And Edinson Cavani? For the second consecutive day, and as he did in the last practices of last week, the Matador did not train alongside his teammates due to discomfort in the old injury of the psoas in his right leg.

Without medical tests to confirm if it's a new tear, his situation will be assessed day by day. Thus, the Matador's call-up against Belgrano is in doubt, but at this point, it is almost certain that he will not be a starter.

The probable Boca lineup against Belgrano: Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Brian Aguirre, Rodrigo Battaglia, Leandro Paredes, Carlos Palacios; Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez.
