Úbeda’s call on Cavani ahead of the Superclásico | OneFootball

Boca Juniors is finalizing the details to host River Plate this Sunday at La Bombonera. The squad trained at the Alberto J. Armando stadium, where Claudio Úbeda set up the team that he would start in the Superclásico and made a decision regarding Edinson Cavani.

The head coach of the Xeneize decided to push the Uruguayan center forward. The physical test was positive for the Matador, who trained all week, as he has been doing for some time, in a differentiated manner.

The training session held this afternoon at La Bombonera saw him working separately from the squad that did the football drills, but it was notable for the intensity and specific exercises with movements simulating match contact.

The Matador trained separately, but was physically pushed and responded well.

Edinson Cavani finished the training well and seems to have left behind the inflammation of the right psoas bursa that has been preventing him from playing normally. In this way, the coach will have to decide whether to call him up for the match.

Although he responded well to the physical demands, he is not ready to play the full 90 minutes. At Boca, they believe he could manage about 30 minutes, and because of this, he could be on the bench as an option for the end of the match. It’s worth remembering that he hasn’t played since September 14 against Rosario Central. That day, he played the full 90 minutes at the Gigante de Arroyito.

Úbeda would have the team without Cavani for the Superclásico

The coach set up the possible starting lineup for the match against River, corresponding to date 15 of the Torneo Clausura. Úbeda made one change compared to those who started the match against Estudiantes de La Plata: Leandro Paredes in place of Tomás Belmonte.

The coach would make only one change.

The starting eleven featured Agustín Marchesín in goal. Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, and Lautaro Blanco at the back. Carlos Palacios, Leandro Paredes, Milton Delgado, and Exequiel Zeballos in midfield, with Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez up front. Unless there are any issues or last-minute surprises, these will be the players who start against the Millonario.
