Miguel Ángel Russo starts outlining the starting lineup for the debut in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Boca Juniors added another day of work in Miami under the orders of Miguel Ángel Russo with the debut in the Club World Cup on the horizon. The 'Xeneize' faces Benfica this Monday, June 16th, at the Hard Rock Stadium, and their coach is already starting to make some tests.
According to journalist Tato Aguilera, reporting for TyC Sports, Russo would bet on a lineup without surprises or experiments for the start of his third cycle as the club's coach.
One of the certainties is that Agustín Marchesín will be the starting goalkeeper, while everything indicates that Edinson Cavani will be able to start because he is still working differently, just like Lautaro Di Lollo and Juan Barinaga.
The main doubt is who will be Ander Herrera's partner in midfield: Milton Delgado or Williams Alarcón.
In this way, Boca Juniors would line up against Benfica with a 4-4-2 formation consisting of Agustín Marchesin; Lucas Blondel, Nicolás Figal, Marcos Rojo, Lautaro Blanco; Kevin Zenón, Ander Herrera, Milton Delgado/ Williams Alarcón, Exequiel Zeballos; Milton Giménez and Miguel Merentiel.
