Claudio Úbeda faces selection dilemma as Boca prepare to host Tigre | OneFootball

The Boca Juniors squad returned to training after having Monday off following their victory over River. Claudio Úbeda organized a physical recovery session for his players who won the Superclásico and has already started preparing for the next match.

The 2-0 victory over their eternal rival is now behind them, and the team must focus on the next match, which will be on Sunday at La Bombonera. The Xeneize will host Tigre for the last round of the regular phase and will do so with a forced change. Additionally, the coach faces another dilemma that must be resolved in the coming days. Lautaro Di Lollo will not be able to play this match due to receiving his fifth yellow card against the Millonario and must serve a suspension. Milton Giménez is in a similar situation. The forward is on the edge.

The former Banfield player has accumulated four yellow cards in the Torneo Clausura and the dilemma Claudio Úbeda faces is whether to risk him or not use him against Tigre. If he receives another yellow card, he will miss the round of 16 match. However, the coach could choose not to play him and ensure he can participate in the first playoff match.

It should be noted that from the round of 16, the cards are reset and start counting from zero. Therefore, the coach faces this dilemma of whether to risk Giménez playing the last match of the regular phase with the potential sanction looming or to preserve him. If he opts for the latter, he must decide who will play in his place.

For now, "Sifón" must decide who will replace Lautaro Di Lollo in the central defense, and the one with the best chance to take that spot is Nicolás Figal. The former Inter Miami player would accompany Ayrton Costa to play this Sunday's match.

The Xeneize closes the regular phase against the Matador.
