Will he be in Varela? Miguel Ángel Russo given the all-clear

Good news for Boca: Miguel Ángel Russo, the team's head coach, was discharged from the hospital this Friday after being absent during the week of training prior to the match against Defensa y Justicia this Saturday in Florencio Varela.

Boca will visit El Halcón this Saturday for the tenth date of the Clausura Tournament and hours before the trip to Varela, the coach was discharged by the doctors. Miguel Ángel Russo was hospitalized at the Fleni institute during the week when the team was under the command of his assistants, Claudio Úbeda and Juvenal Rodríguez.

Russo was discharged from the hospital.

The coaching staff planned the concentration made up of 24 footballers after the last training and there the coach could join, as he has permission from his doctors to do so. It is important to highlight that, his presence at the Tito Tomaghello stadium is not yet confirmed, but it is also not ruled out that he will go with the squad. It will depend on his decision.

Miguel Ángel Russo makes only one change

The coach decided to make only one modification in the team, compared to those who started the draw against Central Córdoba. The change is mandatory, due to the injury of Carlos Palacios. The Chilean's place will be taken by Alan Velasco.

Velasco will start instead of Palacios.

So, Boca will line up with Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Brian Aguirre, Leandro Paredes, Alan Velasco; Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez.
