Boca confirm Marchesin injury, harsh blow rules him out of Copa | OneFootball

The goalkeeper left injured in the match against Instituto and will need several weeks to recover.

While waiting for the squad to return to training, Boca coach Claudio Úbeda received bad news after the extent of goalkeeper Agustín Marchesín’s injury was confirmed, and it is more serious than expected.

“Agustín Marchesín has a Grade 3 injury to his right adductor,” the Xeneize’s official account reported on social media to announce the news. As a result, the keeper will begin his recovery in order to return to the pitch as soon as possible.

As it is a grade-three tear, the goalkeeper will need at least three weeks of recovery, so he will miss Boca’s Copa Conmebol Libertadores debut, scheduled for Tuesday, April 7, away against Universidad Católica.

According to Bolavip, given this injury, the idea of the Xeneize medical staff and the goalkeeper is not to rush the recovery timeline so that he can be available for the Superclásico against River, which will be played on the weekend of April 19.

As a result, with Marchesín absent, the starting goalkeeper will be Leandro Brey, who came on in the match against Instituto. On the bench will be Javier García, who has not played in an official match since March 10, 2024, in the 4-2 win over Racing.

The young Boca goalkeeper had already had a similar opportunity due to Agustín Marchesín’s injury during August and September 2025. The veteran was injured near the end of the win over Aldosivi in Mar del Plata, and Brey then faced a difficult challenge.

He started in the away match against Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito Stadium, which ended in a 1-1 draw. That afternoon, Brey made a mistake on a corner, and Ángel Di María scored directly from it to level the match.
