Boca welcome players back: Marchesín and Zeballos rejoin squad | OneFootball

After the important victory in Chile against Universidad Católica, Boca’s squad wasted no time and trained in Santiago before returning to Buenos Aires. The session, held at Palestino’s training complex, served as the first step in preparation for the crucial clásico against Independiente.

The big news of the day and the main focus of attention was the long-awaited return of Exequiel Zeballos and Agustín Marchesín to the group. Both players have fully put their respective injuries behind them, took an active part in the drills set by the coaching staff, and are now in optimal condition to get minutes again in the Xeneize shirt.

The return of these two players comes at the perfect time for coach Claudio Úbeda, who has already decided to implement a forced rotation in the starting lineup. Changes are imminent, as Leandro Paredes must serve a one-match suspension for yellow-card accumulation, while Marcelo Weigandt, Miguel Merentiel, and Adam Bareiro finished with various signs of fatigue and physical discomfort.

With this outlook, the head coach is planning a starting eleven very similar to the one that played against Talleres to host El Rojo this coming Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at La Bombonera. Agustín Marchesín is set to immediately return as the starting goalkeeper, while “Changuito” Zeballos has a strong chance of joining the attack alongside Ángel Romero and Milton Giménez.

Everything set for Boca vs Independiente

The Professional Football League announced all the details for the clásico to be played at La Bombonera. The match will be played this Saturday, April 11, starting at 7:30 p.m., with Andrés Merlos as referee.
