Boca on alert: Leandro Paredes misses the derby | OneFootball

Boca beat Talleres 1-0 in Córdoba, but alarm bells started ringing when the referee showed Leandro Paredes a yellow card. With that booking, Boca’s captain picked up his fifth caution and will miss the upcoming clásico.

The 2022 Qatar World Cup champion will have to serve a one-match suspension and will not be at La Bombonera for Boca’s clash against Independiente next Saturday the 11th. In such an important match, Claudio Úbeda will be without one of his key players, although there is some good news to take from this suspension.

Leandro Paredes will be available for the Superclásico without any issues

Although Leandro Paredes will miss the match against El Rojo, he will be available against River at the Monumental. Had he not been booked against Talleres, he would have risked receiving his fifth yellow card against the Avellaneda side and therefore missing the Superclásico.

Now, the only headache for Úbeda, if luck is on his side, will be finding who will replace the midfielder against Independiente. Ander Herrera and Tomás Belmonte appear to be the main candidates, since Santiago Ascacíbar would return to the starting eleven after getting some minutes against the T.

The match between Boca and River will be on Sunday, April 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Monumental in Núñez.
