Without Cavani, Boca back in training with eyes on Estudiantes | OneFootball

Under the orders of Claudio Úbeda, the Boca Juniors squad returned to training after the 3-1 victory over Barracas Central. The team led by "El Sifón" held their first practice of the week, focusing on the upcoming visit to Estudiantes in La Plata.

The head coach organized a light session where the players who completed the match or played many minutes did regenerative work, while the rest played football in small spaces.

The news of the morning is that Edinson Cavani continues to train separately from the rest of his teammates, as he did last week due to an inflammation of the right psoas bursa, which prevents him from working with the rest of the squad.

Claudio Úbeda must decide on the team to visit Estudiantes with one change.

The Uruguayan aims to be available for the match against Estudiantes, but there are 3 training sessions left for the coaching staff to decide whether to call him up or not. Claudio Úbeda mentioned in the press conference after the match against Barracas that they will "wait for Edi to be 100% and then we will analyze it."

Cavani in doubt and a confirmed absence

While the Uruguayan striker is in doubt for this match, Claudio Úbeda knows he will have to make a mandatory change for the next game, just like in the previous duel.

Úbeda must make a forced change.

The coach will need to find a replacement for Leandro Paredes because he reached the limit of yellow cards and cannot play against "El Pincha." It has become a constant for "Sifón" to have to modify the lineup, whether due to injury or another reason. In fact, he has only been able to do it once since he took charge.
