With Velasco injured: Carlos Palacios set to return to the starting XI | OneFootball

Boca will not play the current round of the Torneo Clausura due to the passing of Miguel Ángel Russo, but the team has returned to training with that match and the clash against Belgrano at La Bombonera in mind. Xeneize already knew in advance that they would not be able to count on Alan Velasco due to injury.

The former Independiente and Dallas FC player suffered a strain of the internal ligament in his right knee. This physical issue will keep him out of both the clash against El Guapo and possibly the match against the Cordoban Pirata. Given this situation, Claudio Úbeda will have to decide who will replace the attacking midfielder.

Velasco and an injury that sidelines him from the starting eleven.

Palacios, the candidate to replace Velasco

The Chilean has overcome a muscle injury that kept him out of practice with the rest of his teammates for a few days, and he is now training alongside the group. If Úbeda finds him in good physical condition, he is the main candidate to start in midfield.

If Carlos Palacios is not at 100%, then Sifón will have to consider other options who have not had enough minutes recently. Kevin Zenón and Agustín Martegani are the most logical choices, although he could also opt for Exequiel Zeballos to come in and move Brian Aguirre back to his role as winger.
