Boca return to training, Úbeda to keep same XI v Argentinos | OneFootball

After defeating Talleres 2-0 in the round of 16 of the Torneo Clausura and having Monday off, Boca returned to training with the upcoming match against Argentinos Juniors in the quarterfinals in mind. All the players finished the match against Talleres in optimal condition, and it is very likely that Claudio Úbeda will repeat the team.

Another good piece of news for the Xeneize is that they are gradually recovering players, and except for Alan Velasco, who is still in the recovery process from his right knee ligament strain, Sifón has the entire squad available.

Rodrigo Battaglia, who returned to playing minutes last Sunday after missing four matches, is already training alongside the group; meanwhile, Edinson Cavani, who also played against the Cordoba team and had previously done so against Tigre, is increasingly practicing at the pace of his teammates.

Even though it is most likely that Úbeda will repeat the team, there is a possibility that Milton Giménez might be replaced by an additional midfielder. This is because Boca struggled during the initial minutes of the match against Talleres with the opponent's good ball handling, and Argentinos is a similar team, with many technically skilled players who, with confidence, can pose a threat to anyone. Another option, the most likely as of today, is for the coach to make some tactical adjustments, especially in the defensive area, but with the same players.

In the football practice next Thursday at La Bombonera, it is expected that there will be more clarity regarding the lineup that will take the field next weekend. In the coming hours, the AFA will announce the day and time for the quarterfinal match.
