Forced changes: Boca to rotate again for clash with Independiente | OneFootball

After the win in Chile against Universidad Católica, Boca’s squad trained in Santiago before returning to Buenos Aires. Claudio Úbeda decided that the players would hold their first training session in the neighboring country with the next match against Independiente in mind.

As usual, the players who started or played more than 45 minutes did recovery work. Meanwhile, those who did not feature or played less than a half had a small-sided football practice. Among the players, the return of Exequiel Zeballos and Agustín Marchesín stands out, as they have recovered from their injuries and are fit to play again for the Xeneize.

Beyond that, Claudio Úbeda has already decided that he will rotate the team again and must make changes out of necessity because Leandro Paredes will not be able to play in Saturday’s match against Independiente after picking up his fifth yellow card and having to serve a one-match suspension.

3 who would not play against Independiente: Paredes suspended, Merentiel and Bareiro would be rested.

In addition, several players finished the match against Católica carrying knocks or feeling fatigued due to the run of matches. Marcelo Weigandt ended up with a blow to the knee. Miguel Merentiel, meanwhile, had pain in his pubis that forced him to leave the pitch. Adam Bareiro, on the other hand, came off exhausted.

El Sifón plans to field a team similar to the one that started the match against Talleres in Córdoba. Agustín Marchesín could return in goal, and the defense would be made up of Juan Barinaga and Malcom Braida on the flanks, with Nicolás Figal and Marco Pellegrino as center-backs. In midfield, Ander Herrera could start alongside Tomás Belmonte and Santiago Ascacíbar. Alan Velasco also has a chance of returning to the starting lineup, as do Exequiel Zeballos, Ángel Romero, and Milton Giménez.
