Racing's coach, Gustavo Costas, conducted the team's practice on Thursday and started to define the starting lineup for the match against Boca Juniors in the semifinals of the 2025 Clausura Tournament. However, the 62-year-old manager still has certain uncertainties ahead of the upcoming duel, which will take place at La Bombonera starting at 19:00 and will reveal one of the tournament's finalists. One of the key issues is the presence of Santiago Solari, who finished the match with discomfort after the penalty shootout victory over Tigre last Monday in the quarter-finals, and his participation against 'Xeneize' is still not confirmed. Nevertheless, the medical staff has definitively ruled out a muscle strain, so Costas will assess until the last moment whether he can count on the 27-year-old attacker in the pursuit of a victory against the blue and gold team. According to what the Argentine News Agency was able to find out, if Racing gives the green light for Solari to play, the 'albiceleste' coach would repeat the same attacking trident that faced 'The Matador', with Adrián 'Maravilla' Martínez and Duván Vergara from the start. On the other hand, Facundo Mura will integrate the starting lineup in place of Gastón Martirena, who was shown a red card at the 10th minute of the first extra time and will not be able to be in the squad to face Boca. Likewise, Santiago Sosa will also not be part of the squad for the same reason.
