Still under the orders of Claudio Úbeda due to the absence of Miguel Ángel Russo for medical reasons, Boca’s players completed another training session at the Ezeiza complex.The practice had several updates, among them, the return of Leandro Paredes from Ecuador, where he played his last match with the Argentine National Team in the South American Qualifiers, which have now come to an end.
The world champion arrived early in the morning at Ezeiza International Airport and immediately headed to Boca’s training grounds in the same area of Buenos Aires Province. He joined the squad for training, but the coaching staff decided to give him the afternoon off, as the rest of his teammates will train in a double session.
Paredes returned from Ecuador.
Leandro Paredes’ commitment to Boca is such that they had to ask him to go home and rest. The coaching staff excused him from the training session scheduled for 4:00 p.m. and called him up for tomorrow’s practice, which will take place at La Bombonera, where the final football details will be worked on ahead of Sunday’s match in Rosario.
Xeneize would line up at the Gigante de Arroyito with just one change compared to those who started the victory over Aldosivi. The change is forced by the injury to Agustín Marchesín. The spot between the posts would be filled by Leandro Brey.
Boca wants its fourth consecutive victory.
Thus, Boca would line up with: Leandro Brey; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Brian Aguirre, Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo Battaglia, Carlos Palacios; Miguel Merentiel and Edinson Cavani.
