Boca prepares for Talleres match: possible changes in lineup

Boca Juniors is thinking about the match against Talleres de Córdoba for the round of 16 of the Torneo Clausura, and there are some variations in the starting eleven. Having qualified for the group stage of the 2026 Copa Libertadores and with the home advantage for having won their zone, the team led by Claudio Úbeda will receive the Córdoba team on Sunday at 8:00 PM, according to the Argentine News Agency. The "Xeneize" arrives on a good streak after beating River and Tigre at La Bombonera, without conceding goals and showing a game they haven't achieved in a long time. With Exequiel Zeballos as a game-changer on the wings, taking advantage of the great level maintained by "Changuito". The possible starting eleven for Boca: Agustín Marchesín; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Carlos Palacios, Milton Delgado, Leandro Paredes, Exequiel Zeballos; Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez. However, everything indicates that the midfielder will go to the bench, as Milton Delgado would continue accompanying Leandro Paredes in the midfield. Two key players will also return: Lautaro Di Lollo, who served his suspension, and Milton Giménez, who was preserved from physical wear in the last match. Both will regain their place in the starting lineup. Úbeda would maintain the scheme with Miguel Merentiel and Giménez in the attack, leaving Edinson Cavani out of the starting eleven, who is still not at 100% physically despite scoring against Tigre. In light of this, there are some possible changes thinking about the match against Talleres. One of the outstanding points in the preparation was the return to training of Rodrigo Battaglia, who received medical clearance after a muscle tear and rejoined the group.
