Uruguayan Boca Juniors forward Edinson Cavani joined his teammates in training on Wednesday, but his participation in the upcoming Superclásico against River Plate next Sunday is not guaranteed. The 'Xeneize' coaching staff, led by Claudio Úbeda, who took over after the death of Miguel Ángel Russo, had hoped to have the Uruguayan attacker in practice, but he again did individual exercises. The former Manchester United and Paris Saint-German player has not seen action since September 14 when 'La Ribera' drew 1-1 with Rosario Central away from home. He is carrying a discomfort in his right psoas muscle that prevents him from training normally. With three days remaining for the Superclásico at La Bombonera, which will kick off at 4:30 PM, everything seems to indicate that Cavani will be on the bench, although there is a possibility that he will not be called up if he does not complete his recovery. Having not practiced with the rest of the squad, it is very difficult for him to beat one of the starting forwards for a spot, despite his hierarchy. The blue and gold coach seems satisfied with the current duo of Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez, so the absence of 'El Matador' would not affect his plans too much, considering the recent victories.
