Boca returned to training after the break following their 5-0 victory over Newell's Old Boys of Rosario at La Bombonera. The squad, led by Claudio Úbeda, trained with the news that Edinson Cavani and Carlos Palacios were with the rest of their teammates.
Both Edinson Cavani and Carlos Palacios were able to complete the tasks set by the coaching staff headed by Claudio Úbeda in the absence of Miguel Ángel Russo, who is undergoing home hospitalization with a reserved prognosis.

Both players, the Uruguayan and the Chilean, are in condition to be called up and play against Barracas Central, a match corresponding to the twelfth date of the Torneo Clausura which will be held this Saturday from 2:30 PM at the Claudio Fabián Tapia stadium. There, the Xeneize could clear the top of Zone A if they manage to win.
Claudio Úbeda will have to make a mandatory change due to the absence of Leandro Paredes, who is in Miami with the Argentine National Team to play two friendlies, against Venezuela and Puerto Rico. The one leading the race to replace the world champion is Ander Herrera. The Basque entered for 20 minutes last Sunday against Newell's and the coaching staff was satisfied with his performance.

In this way, Cavani and Palacios will fight to earn a spot during the week and be part of the starting team that will begin the duel against El Guapo.
