Four days before the Superclásico against River Plate at La Bombonera, Claudio Úbeda, head coach of Boca Juniors, is considering making another change to the team, in addition to the return of Leandro Paredes.
Sifón was not entirely satisfied with Carlos Palacios’ performance in the match against Estudiantes de La Plata. On the contrary, he noticed and highlighted what Ander Herrera did during the 23 minutes he played at the end of the match against Pincha.
Úbeda is considering starting Ander Herrera instead of Carlos Palacios in the Superclásico against River this Sunday. The coach has been gradually giving the Basque more playing time after his long period of inactivity and believes he is now ready to start a match from the beginning.

Ander Herrera could make it into the starting lineup.
With this in mind, the Xeneize coach could make more than one change for the match against the Millonario, which will kick off at 16:30 at La Bombonera. The return of Leandro Paredes is a certainty. The player likely to be dropped is Tomás Belmonte, who temporarily filled in for the world champion against Estudiantes due to his suspension after reaching the yellow card limit.
The head coach of the Ribera team must decide whether to include Edinson Cavani in the squad list for the Superclásico. The Uruguayan striker has not yet rejoined the group, missing the morning session on a day that will feature another training session in the afternoon.

Cavani wants to be in the Superclásico.
It will depend on how the Matador is feeling for Sifón to decide whether to include him among the players available for the match against the Millonario or leave him out.
