Goalkeeper switch on the cards? Agustín Marchesín left out of training XI | OneFootball

Boca Juniors' training left a sign that did not go unnoticed: Agustín Marchesín did not participate in the football practice that Miguel Ángel Russo arranged this morning in Ezeiza. The absence of the starting goalkeeper responds, according to sources close to the club, to a management of physical loads after the demanding work of yesterday. Although it is not an injury, his absence raises questions just a few days before the classic against Racing.

In a tense context due to the poor footballing present and media pressure, Russo seeks to keep the squad focused on the main objective: winning at La Bombonera. That's why he started defining the starting eleven, practicing with two teams where the surprise was the non-inclusion of Agustín Marchesín, the starting goalkeeper of Boca.

Who would be the goalkeeper if Agustín Marchesín leaves the team?

In team A, the chosen one to guard the three posts was Leandro Brey, an option that Russo starts to consider as a real alternative. The young goalkeeper is emerging as the natural replacement for Marchesín in case he is not available for the match against the Academy.

The teams that faced Russo

Miguel Ángel Russo stopped two teams on the field during the morning practice. In both, the system used by the coach was the 4231.

Russo has more than a week to define the team.

Although there are still nine days left before the match against Racing, these tests begin to outline the decisions that the technical staff will make in search of cutting the adverse streak against a rival who also does not arrive in the best way to La Bombonera.
