The truth behind Miguel Russo’s decision to drop Kevin Zenón at Boca | OneFootball

In the midst of Boca's positive streak, which has seen several matches without a defeat, Kevin Zenón remains sidelined. The midfielder stayed at Xeneize after not being able to finalize his move to Europe, but he continues to watch the matches from the outside due to a decision by Miguel Ángel Russo.

Since his last appearance against Huracán on July 27, the midfielder has been on the bench twice and then was not even among the alternatives. Although he was part of some concentration lists (due to the coach's decision to take his 30 players to away commitments), the former Unión player seems not to be considered again.

Russo has not decided to keep Zenón out. However, his pressure to leave in the last transfer market and his poor performances in recent games have made him lose a lot of ground. For this reason, the left-footer is lagging behind to be considered again. Today, his absence is due to football reasons.

Considering that the coach decided to maintain continuity with the same 11, added to the good present of Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo Battaglia and Brian Aguirre, Zenón's chances have decreased. Even so, the player could return to the bench sooner or later and become an alternative for the second halves. It will depend on him.
