The latest Boca news today: the squad is training with Universidad Católica in mind, and the basketball team begins its National League semifinal series by visiting Quimsa in Santiago del Estero.
It’s a day full of news at the club from La Ribera. The squad led by Claudio Úbeda continues its preparations for the match against Los Cruzados at La Bombonera. This game, scheduled for Thursday, May 28, will be the Xeneize team’s last of the semester.
Boca must beat Universidad Católica to advance to the next stage of the Copa Libertadores, since mathematically, a draw or a loss would leave them out of the competition, forcing them to settle for the Copa Sudamericana playoff round.

Miguel Merentiel trained separately on Friday and is expected to rejoin the group this Saturday.
With that in mind, Boca is training today at the Ezeiza facility, where El Sifón is beginning to decide who is ready to start. In yesterday’s session, Miguel Merentiel and Marco Pellegrino trained apart from the group, but it would only be to manage workloads.
It should be remembered that Claudio Úbeda will have to make one forced change because Ayrton Costa reached the yellow card limit and cannot play in the aforementioned match. Pellegrino will replace him if he is physically fit, as expected.
The Xeneize team begins the series against Quimsa away from home. The game will be played starting at 11:30 a.m. at Estadio Ciudad in Santiago del Estero. The first semifinal game can be watched live on TyC Sports.
