Boca Juniors Awaits Zeballos and Giménez Return

Boca Juniors is planning the return of Ezequiel Zeballos and Milton Giménez to the first team after the March FIFA break. After an "injury wave" that depleted the attack options in the early months of 2026, the 'Xeneize' infirmary is beginning to empty. Both players have already started field exercises with the ball, and the coaching staff of Ubeda is confident they will be ready for the match against Talleres at the Kempes stadium. Zeballos, who was the star of 'Boca' at the beginning of 2026, is in the final stage of his rehabilitation after a grade II-III tear of the left hamstring, which he suffered before the match against Vélez. Giménez, for his part, is in the final stages of his recovery after undergoing surgery for a sports hernia. The great challenge for Ubeda will be to get them back to competitive rhythm, as their last official appearance was on December 7, marking an inactivity of over three months. According to the Argentine News Agency, Claudio Ubeda's team, with the return of these two key offensive players after the FIFA break, is recovering two fundamental pieces for the triple competition of the first semester.
