Will he face Belgrano? when Leandro Paredes could return for Boca | OneFootball

Leandro Paredes is experiencing busy days. The midfielder is in the United States with the Argentina National Team, where he participated in the victory against Venezuela last Friday. Now, he awaits the second friendly of this FIFA date against Puerto Rico, albeit with an unexpected change.

The match against the Boricuas was initially scheduled for this Monday in Chicago, but it was rescheduled for Tuesday in Fort Lauderdale, at the Inter Miami stadium. This means that the number 5 will return to the country a day later than planned.

Paredes played as a starter in the friendly against Venezuela.

The rescheduling of the friendly is not the only setback. Matchday 13 of the Torneo Clausura has Boca playing at home against Belgrano de Córdoba on Saturday the 18th, not Sunday as expected. This further reduces the rest period for the world champion, who will have just three days between his return and the club commitment.

The "positive" for the team is that they did not suffer his absence, which was assured against Barracas Central. The suspension of that match ended up being beneficial sports-wise, although the reason for the postponement was the painful loss of Miguel Ángel Russo.

The Boca captain will join training midweek. A practice session is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at La Bombonera with football included, although it is unclear if he will be able to participate. In the previous FIFA date, Paredes returned directly from Ecuador to the club's facilities. If he cannot make it on Wednesday, his return would be on Thursday morning in Ezeiza.
