Goodbye to the double No. 9?

A few conclusions can be drawn from today’s football practice, beyond Changuito Zeballos’ exclusion. Vasco set up two teams, and in neither of them did he play with both No. 9s together.

In the first team, he fielded Miguel Merentiel alongside Leonel Flores, while in the second, Milton Giménez was paired with Ángel Romero. In addition, both teams had a playmaker/link man: Tomás Aranda in Team 1 and Carlos Palacios in Team 2.

Dybala close to renewing with Roma

The chances of the Córdoba-born forward arriving at Boca in this transfer window are getting slimmer. According to the latest information coming from Italy, the attacker would renew his deal with the Italian club.

The other absence in training

Changuito Zeballos was not the only player who did not take part in the football practice. Kevin Zenón was also absent, although his absence is due to a physical issue.

The midfielder, formerly of Unión de Santa Fe, has discomfort in his soleus. This issue kept him from joining the rest of his teammates during today’s session, but it does not appear to be serious, and his absence would be precautionary.

Zeballos left out of football practice

Exequiel Zeballos did not take part in the football practice by decision of the coach. Changuito still has not resolved his future, and Vasco decided he would not be part of the team he put on the field to face a mixed side in an informal practice match.

The forward has Boca’s offer to renew his contract, which expires at the end of the year, but he still has not responded. In that sense, he reportedly expressed his intention to be transferred in this transfer window, and that is why Vasco would have sidelined him from the team.
