Injury Updates Ahead of Boca Juniors vs Lanús

The Peruvian right back of Boca Juniors, Luis Advíncula, will not be able to participate in the remainder of the Apertura Tournament due to an injury suffered during the team's practice. The interim coach, Mariano Herrón, will have to do without his services for the match against Lanús in the round of 16.

Herrón will have forward Milton Giménez, who has returned to training with the group after recovering from an ankle sprain. However, he still shows signs of pain, which could affect his participation in future commitments.

As for the lineup for the match against Lanús, it is expected that Lucas Blondel will replace Advíncula in the team's starting formation, which is anticipated to be as follows: Agustín Marchesin; Lucas Blondel, Rodrigo Battaglia, Marcos Rojo, Lautaro Blanco; Tomás Belmonte, Milton Delgado; Kevin Zenón, Carlos Palacios, Alan Velasco; Miguel Merentiel.

Advíncula's absence adds to the missing key players such as Edinson Cavani, Ander Herrera, and Nicolás Figal. Medical examinations conducted on the right back revealed a sprain in the medial ligament, which leaves him sidelined for an indefinite period.
