Surprise at Boca: Úbeda tests a different line-up ahead of Platense | OneFootball

Boca trained this morning in Ezeiza and Claudio Úbeda changed the lineup again. The coach practiced with a different team than the one he set up in the formal soccer practice held at La Bombonera.

El Sifón has not yet decided who will start the match this Sunday, which will begin at 19:30 against Platense. The Xeneize coach tried a modification compared to the lineup he had yesterday.

Lucas Janson was the highlight of this Friday morning's training. The forward, who has recovered from his injury, started the practice with the first team. The lineup featured Agustín Marchesín as the goalkeeper and the seemingly unmovable line of four defenders: Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, and Lautaro Blanco.

In midfield were Santiago Ascacíbar, Leandro Paredes, and Williams Alarcón, while in the final third of the field, the coach placed Lucas Janson, Miguel Merentiel, and Ángel Romero.

Tomás Aranda fights for a spot in Boca

Although Janson started this training as a starter, the young Tomás Aranda ended up playing in his place during practice. El Sifón made the change to test the player who played on Tuesday in the reserves: there he scored a goal and an assist against Riestra.

Thus, Aranda has a chance to make it into the eleven that will play the match against Calamar for the fifth date of the Torneo Apertura 2026. They will train for the last time this Saturday before Sunday's duel.
