Boca remains expectant regarding the health progress of Miguel Ángel Russo, who has not been discharged from the hospital and, for the third consecutive day, was absent from practice.
According to reports, "Miguelo" must continue under medical supervision, which suggests that Claudio Úbeda will be the one to lead the "Xeneize" in Florencio Varela this Saturday, when the "Blue and Gold" team faces Defensa y Justicia.
So far, there has been no official statement from La Ribera regarding the health of their coach, nor who will take charge of the first team. However, it is rumored that they are waiting for medical and family approval before making any announcement.
In this scenario, "Sifón" prepared for the match against Defensa y Justicia with several injuries, yet managing to maintain the 4-4-2 formation from recent games, with the possible return of Alan Velasco to the starting lineup.
In summary, the probable lineup would be Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, and Lautaro Blanco; Brian Aguirre, Sebastián Battaglia, Leandro Paredes, and Velasco; Milton Giménez and Miguel Merentiel.
