Boca Juniors is preparing to face Independiente at La Bombonera, for the quarterfinals of the Professional League Opening Tournament.

The team that Mariano Herrón is coaching as interim until the end of the local tournament, comes from eliminating Lanús on penalties and is under pressure to play at home and in front of their fans against an Independiente that is in good form.

Julio Vaccari's team eliminated Independiente Rivadavia in the round of 16, with a stunning goal from Santiago Montiel, and they also come from a win in the South American Cup.

No new absences in Boca Juniors' call-up

As expected, Edinson Cavani and Ander Herrera are available for Herrón in this match, although it remains to be seen if they are 100% fit and if they can make it into the starting lineup. The Spanish player was further along in his recovery, while the Uruguayan forward is just making it to this match, both after overcoming muscle tears.

Marcos Rojo, who did not train yesterday due to a fever, was in doubt, but he is also part of the list.

Herrón could repeat the eleven that played against Lanús in the round of 16, although the team did not play a good match. A tough challenge for the Xeneize who will have to show more to prove they are contenders.
