Arruabarrena left Zeballos out of Boca training | OneFootball

Arruabarrena’s firm decision shook up the morning in Ezeiza, leaving Exequiel Zeballos out of the football practice. The forward has still not renewed his contract with the blue-and-gold club, which led to a strong tactical and institutional stance looking ahead.

The scene at Xeneize’s training center began with major news for the team setup. El Changuito was not part of any lineup during the informal practice organized by the coaching staff. The Vasco’s decision was not due to physical issues, but strictly to the striker’s current contractual situation.

The winger’s contract expires at the end of this year. Although the board presented him with a formal offer to extend the deal and protect the club’s assets, the player has still not given a final answer. This delay in negotiations has created a clear atmosphere of uncertainty ahead of the start of the second half of the season.

It emerged that the skillful attacker’s main intention would be to seek a move abroad during the current transfer window. Faced with this uncertain situation, Vasco chose to prioritize those players whose continuity in the project is guaranteed. As a result, the player would be left out of formal football practices until his situation with Boca is definitively clarified.

Arruabarrena’s other absence in training

Beyond the contractual case drawing the most attention, the coach’s board also had to be adjusted due to an unexpected setback. Kevin Zenón, a midfielder Boca are looking to get back, was the other major absentee in the day’s session. The former Unión de Santa Fe player reported muscle discomfort that set off initial alarms at the training ground.

Specifically, the left-footed midfielder is dealing with discomfort in his soleus, which prevented him from training alongside the rest of his teammates. He was left out of the team as a precaution to avoid injury. According to the information that emerged, the aim is to manage the workload from the tough preseason the team has been going through.
