The 4 Boca players in Argentina’s provisional World Cup squad | OneFootball

Boca is represented on the list of 55 pre-selected players officially presented by the Argentine Football Association, put together by head coach Lionel Scaloni, ahead of the upcoming World Cup to be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Among those called up to defend the world title, four footballers who currently wear the Xeneize shirt stand out.

With different current situations and projections, the list includes a key piece of the Scaloneta who already knows what it means to lift the trophy, along with three young prospects from the club in La Ribera who have received their first call-up to the senior national team.

Leandro Paredes

The midfielder is a true fixture in the national setup. The current Xeneize captain and world champion is in a head-to-head battle with Rodrigo De Paul for a spot in the starting eleven, forming the ideal midfield alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Enzo Fernández.

Paredes will play in his second World Cup.

If he remains in top physical condition, Paredes is on track to play in the second World Cup of his career, bringing experience and quality to the squad. The good news is that Claudio Úbeda will be able to count on him for the final Copa Libertadores match, scheduled for May 28, after which he will join the Albiceleste.

Lautaro Di Lollo

The center back is one of the surprises of this call-up. After a string of strong performances recently, he managed to establish himself alongside Ayrton Costa in the heart of the starting defense for Sifón’s team. The mistakes he made in the last match, against Huracán, slightly tarnish what he had been doing, but he deserves this reserve spot.

Di Lollo is establishing himself in the first team.

Milton Delgado

The midfielder also did not have a great performance in Boca’s elimination from the Apertura Tournament and made a glaring error that led to Huracán’s first goal. However, he has also been putting in strong performances lately. With a background in the Under-20 national team, the midfielder is part of the squad Scaloni has put together, although it is unlikely he will make the final list.

Delgado has already had experience with the youth national team.

Tomás Aranda

Boca’s big breakthrough in recent times. The creative force in Claudio Úbeda’s team earned his place when the pressure was on. If he manages to maintain the level he has shown so far, his future with the Argentina national team is guaranteed.

Aranda, one of Boca Predio’s biggest prospects.

As with the other two young players mentioned, his presence on this list of 55 is not necessarily aimed at giving him minutes in this World Cup, but rather at giving him experience and helping him become familiar with the national team environment with future cycles in mind.
