Bareiro and Janson in Úbeda’s line-up for Boca v Gimnasia de Chivilcoy | OneFootball

In a high-stakes match, Sifón will rely on several substitutes for the duel against Gimnasia, from Chivilcoy, which plays in the Torneo Federal A.

Criticized and booed by the fans, Claudio Úbeda gained another chance with the draw against Racing at the Bombonera. The coach knows he has no room for error, but even so, in this morning's training, he tested an alternative lineup to debut in the Copa Argentina against Gimnasia, from Chivilcoy. It would be the debut of Ádam Bareiro, who has just arrived.

Facing a team from the Torneo Federal A gives Sifón the opportunity to rest several starters ahead of an intense series of matches that could be decisive for what's to come. Additionally, he aims to recover several injured players, including Exequiel Zeballos and Leandro Paredes, who are essential for the team's performance.

Although Agustín Marchesín is a starter and a key player, in Monday's practice, the goal was in the hands of Leandro Brey, who will play his first match of the year. At the back, the injury of Juan Barinaga leaves the right-back position to be contested by Marcelo Weigandt and Dylan Gorosito, who could play his second match in the First Division (he was a starter against Defensa y Justicia in 2024, with Diego Martínez as coach). Chelo started at Boca Predio.

Additionally, it will be a chance for the substitute center-backs to gain minutes. The current form of Lautaro di Lollo and Ayrton Costa is not the same as at the end of 2025, and that's why Nicolás Figal and Marco Pellegrino will have a great opportunity, even though they will face a lesser opponent. On the left-back, meanwhile, will be Malcom Braida, who has had almost no minutes since joining the club.

Meanwhile, there aren't many alternatives for the center of the midfield. Injuries have made Milton Delgado a constant presence, even with substitutes. If Úbeda sticks to what he tested today, Tomás Belmonte and Williams Alarcón will be alongside him, both starters in the classic against Racing last Sunday.

In attack, Ádam Bareiro will make his debut wearing Boca's jersey, supported by Ángel Romero on one side and Lucas Janson on the other. In a match where absolute dominance is expected, with almost exclusive possession, Sifón is betting on three experienced names.
