Palacios, Cavani doubts: Boca likely to field same team v Newell's | OneFootball

In the lead-up to the match against Newell's, Boca seems ready to maintain the same lineup that fell to Defensa y Justicia in Florencio Varela. With Edinson Cavani and Carlos Palacios undergoing separate training, the coaching staff is considering repeating the lineup, pending the final medical evaluations of the attacking midfielder and the forward.

The Chilean Palacios, who is recovering from a strain of the left pectineus muscle, remains doubtful for the weekend. Meanwhile, the Matador Cavani continues with specific tasks due to his injury, and his presence at La Bombonera is not confirmed. Both will be evaluated until the last moment.

Cavani might not be physically fit for the match.

During the week, Claudio Úbeda was in charge of the training sessions, while it is being decided if Miguel Ángel Russo will be able to be on the bench on Sunday against La Lepra. If Miguelo remains away from the team, his main assistant will be in charge.

With this scenario, the Xeneize team expected to take the field is: Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Brian Aguirre, Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo Battaglia, Alan Velasco; Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez.

Claudio Úbeda would leave Carlos Palacios out due to physical issues.

Boca seeks to recover quickly, maintain the pace and the good minutes of good football it showed in its previous match at La Bombonera, and turn the page on its home ground, where it will try to add three points to climb the standings in Zone A of the Torneo Clausura and in the overall standings for entry into the Cups.
