Boca back in training, boosted by positive news | OneFootball

Boca Juniors returned to work this Wednesday afternoon at the Ezeiza Complex after the victory in Mar del Plata and a 48-hour rest. Without Leandro Paredes, who is with the National Team for the last two World Cup Qualifiers, the team took to the field with the news of Ander Herrera's return. The Spanish midfielder rejoined the group and participated normally in a small-sided football practice, leaving behind the injury that had sidelined him.

The absence of Miguel Ángel Russo also marked the day: the head coach remains hospitalized in a clinic, where he underwent medical tests and is awaiting discharge. In his place, the practice was led by Claudio Úbeda and Juvenal Rodríguez, who took the opportunity to focus on physical circuits, possession rondos, and finishing exercises in small spaces. The team trained with great intensity for almost two hours, reflecting the high spirits after three consecutive victories that secure the Xeneize in the qualification zone for the next Copa Libertadores.

Ander Herrera trained alongside the group.

With their minds set on Sunday the 14th at 17:30, when they visit Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito for the eighth round of the Clausura Tournament, Boca is preparing for the match with the conviction of staying solid. The last encounter between the two was on February 28 at the Bombonera, when Milton Giménez opened the scoring with a header nine minutes into the first half, sealing a key victory for the Ribera team. Now, with Herrera's return and the anticipation of Russo's discharge, the Xeneize aims to extend their good run and strengthen their aspirations both in the local tournament and in the continental competition.
