Boca continues to be expectant about the health progress of Miguel Ángel Russo, who has not been discharged from the hospital and, for the third consecutive day, missed practice.
As it was known, "Miguelo" must continue under medical review, so it seems that Claudio Úbeda will be the one to lead the "Xeneize" in Florencio Varela this Saturday, when the "Blue and Gold" team faces Defensa y Justicia.
So far, no official statement has been issued from La Ribera regarding the health of their coach, nor who will take over the first team, although, as it transpired, they are waiting for medical and family approval to make any statement.
In the midst of this scenario, the "Sifón" prepared the commitment against Defensa y Justicia with several injuries, but managing to maintain the 4-4-2 of the last rounds, with the possible return of Alan Velasco to the starting lineup.
To clarify, the probable eleven would be with Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa and Lautaro Blanco; Brian Aguirre, Sebastián Battaglia, Leandro Paredes and Velasco; Milton Giménez and Miguel Merentiel.
