Boca get key player back for the clásico against Racing | OneFootball

Miguel Ángel Russo received some good news at the beginning of the week, just days before the match against Racing. The Boca coach will be able to count on central defender Ayrton Costa, who was recovering from a muscle injury that took longer than expected and had not been able to play with the blue and gold jersey for some time.

Boca trained this morning at the Ezeiza facility, where there were several new developments regarding the team that has been preparing for the match against the Academy. Last week, which included a double shift, also saw significant progress in the recovery of several players, including Ayrton Costa.

Ayrton Costa will return to the squad.

The central defender has not played since the Club World Cup. Specifically, he last played with the Xeneize jersey on June 20 against Bayern Munich and missed the last match of that competition and the start of the Clausura Tournament and the Copa Argentina match.

Costa has now recovered from the muscle tear he suffered and would be in condition to be called up for the match that Miguel Ángel Russo's team will play at home against the Avellaneda team.

Boca will host Racing needing a win

The River team needs to return to victory and leave behind the worst streak of their history without wins. Boca has not won in 11 games and a positive result at the Alberto J. Armando stadium will serve as oxygen in this tough sporting present that reaches the management and is in the eye of the storm.

Xeneize needs to beat Racing.

Boca will host Racing next Saturday, August 9, starting at 4:30 pm at La Bombonera in the match corresponding to the fourth date of the 2025 Clausura Tournament.
