Bombshell at Boca: Cavani in the squad for the Superclásico | OneFootball

The Boca Juniors squad is finalizing details to host River Plate this Sunday in a new edition of the Argentine football Superclásico. Claudio Úbeda has decided to include Edinson Cavani in the list of called-up players, who hasn't played for almost two months and will be with the team.

Despite continuing to train separately, the Uruguayan forward will be on the list that the head coach will announce in the coming hours. In recent practices, he was pushed hard and responded well, although he's not ready to play the full 90 minutes.

In the latest training sessions, Cavani did specific work with one of the physical trainers to be ready and overcome the inflammation of the right psoas bursa that prevented him from training normally.

The Matador will be called up.

Thus, although Boca believes he can handle about half an hour of play, they trust he can be an option from the bench. If he were to start, it would be a big surprise from Úbeda.

The truth is that the Matador will be with the squad and will join Boca's concentration starting tonight at 11 PM at the Intercontinental Hotel. Saturday will be the last training session at Casa Amarilla before the Superclásico.

With Cavani: everything confirmed for the Superclásico

This Sunday at 4:30 PM, Boca Juniors will host River Plate in a new edition of the Argentine football Superclásico. The match, corresponding to the interzonal encounter of the local championship, will be played at La Bombonera and will be broadcast by ESPN Premium and TNT Sports.
