Buenos Aires, November 18 (NA) – Right-back Lucas Blondel was present at the tournament organized by Sergio 'Kun' Agüero, the Copa Potrero, and once again raised uncertainty about his future at Boca Juniors due to the few minutes he gets with the first team. According to the Argentine News Agency, the former Tigre player was seen alongside journalist Alfredo Montes De Oca in an Instagram story posted by journalist Morena Beltrán, the footballer's current partner. Blondel arrived at Boca Juniors a little over two years ago after a standout spell at Tigre, where he showed constant development, defensive solidity, and a reliable long-range shot. At Boca, his career alternated between periods with playing time and others where he lost ground. His career took a drastic turn with the anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered in March 2024, a situation that forced him into a long recovery period that affected his competitive rhythm and confidence. Blondel officially returned to the pitch in January 2025 with a brief appearance against Argentinos Juniors. Boca Juniors still has him under contract, but his current position within the team structure leaves him in an uncertain scenario. Despite this return, he has failed to establish himself as a primary option and is now behind Juan Barinaga and Luis Advíncula in the coaching staff's considerations, which accentuates his lack of continuity. In this context, his presence this Monday at a 7-a-side football pitch during the Copa Potrero caught the attention of fans and club followers. The defender did not play in any match or train, although his public appearance was interpreted as an indication of the particular moment he is going through: far from a starting spot and with a reduced role within the squad. The footballer's situation raises questions about the next steps in his career.
