Boca Juniors goalkeeper Leandro Brey will start in today's match against Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata in the quarter-finals of the Copa Argentina, instead of Sergio Romero. The newly appointed coach of the team, Fernando Gago, decided to give Romero another chance in the match against Tigre, but his poor performance resulted in him being relegated to the bench to face the La Plata team.
The 22-year-old goalkeeper had replaced the former Manchester United player when he was suspended after an incident with the fans in the last Superclásico against River. Now, Brey will defend the goal from the start for Boca Juniors. It seems that Romero will not start the team's upcoming matches, at least until he regains the level he showed last season, when he was crucial in the team's path to the Copa Libertadores final, which ended in defeat against Fluminense.
Additionally, it is important to note that if Brey manages to consolidate himself in Boca's goal, Romero's days at the club could be numbered, as his contract expires in December 2025.
