This Thursday, Boca Juniors held a training session at La Bombonera ahead of their quarter-final clash against Argentinos Juniors in the Torneo Clausura. The coach, Claudio Úbeda, has defined the team that will seek victory.
With all footballers available following the return of Alan Velasco, who trained on Wednesday with the rest of the group, the Xeneize technical director has reportedly confirmed the starting eleven that will host 'El Bicho' at La Bombonera next Sunday at 18:30. The match will be covered live by the Argentine News Agency.
Similarly, the blue-and-gold manager is not expected to make changes to the lineup that secured a 2-0 victory over Talleres in the round of 16 of the local championship, with the exception of any last-minute unforeseen events.
Although Úbeda had at one point considered the possibility of including striker Edinson Cavani and midfielder Rodrigo Battaglia in the starting lineup, the good performances of the attacking duo—Miguel Merentiel and Milton Giménez—and the double pivot—Leandro Paredes and Milton Delgado—have convinced the coach of his ideal formation.
Furthermore, Boca Juniors has won five consecutive matches, keeping a clean sheet in the last three, and is on the verge of winning a title for the first time in three years.
Possible Boca Juniors lineup to face Argentinos Juniors: Agustín Marchesín; Juan Falcón, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Ezequiel Palacios, Leandro Paredes, Milton Delgado, Exequiel Zeballos; Milton Giménez and Miguel Merentiel.
Coach: Claudio Úbeda.
