The Boca squad trained this Thursday at La Bombonera, where Miguel Ángel Russo planned a formal football practice, as is usual before matches. The coach rehearsed with the team that could play on Sunday against Central Córdoba, and will make a change, at least, if what was tested is maintained.
Miguelo stopped the team with variations. The inclusion of Agustín Marchesín in goal for Leandro Brey was the first. The former Gremio goalkeeper will return to play for the Xeneize after his absence in Rosario due to a muscle injury that caused him to miss the match that ended 1 to 1 against Central, played at the Gigante de Arroyito.
Agustín Marchesín, the only change that Boca would make vs Central Córdoba.
On the other hand, the absence of Edinson Cavani from the football practice stood out. The Uruguayan forward did not participate for either of the two teams that faced each other. The "starting" team lined up with Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa and Lautaro Blanco in defense. In the middle of the field, Brian Aguirre, Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo Battaglia and Carlos Palacios remain, while in the forward were Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez.
The other team was made up of Leandro Brey; Luis Advíncula, Nicolás Figal, Marco Pellegrino, Frank Fabra; Ander Herrera, Tomás Belmonte, Williams Alarcón; Malcom Braida, Lucas Janson and Alan Velasco. However, we will have to wait until the same day of the match, specifically the technical talk that will be given at the Intercontinental Hotel, to have confirmation of who will play from the start.
The historic gave his point of view on the current situation of the team and the possibility that Carlos Palacios leaves the starting team: “I see Boca very well, I think that what Palacios did, no player gave the height to say that it is necessary to change him, because the other day Velazco and Alarcón did not enter well”.
In reference to the episode that occurred at the Gigante de Arrotiyo in Rosario, where the Chilean complained about his replacement, Marcico commented: “What Palacios did was wrong, he should not make that gesture because your teammates are there, I think he did it because Úbeda was there, if Miguel was there he wouldn't do it”, he assured in dialogue with Boca de Selección.
