With the intention of reinforcing the unity of the squad, coach Miguel Ángel Russo included in the delegation players who have been sidelined, such as goalkeeper Sergio “Chiquito” Romero.

Romero, 38 years old, is not considered by the coach and awaits the end of his contract on December 31, but will still accompany the team. His last match in Boca's goal was in November 2024.

In addition to Romero, three other goalkeepers will travel: Agustín Marchesín (starter), Javier García and Leandro Brey.

The defender Marco Pellegrino, currently injured, is also on the list although his place on the field will be taken by Ayrton Costa.

Complete list of Boca's called-up players

  • Goalkeepers (4): Agustín Marchesín, Javier García, Leandro Brey and Sergio Romero.
  • Defenders (10): Luis Advíncula, Juan Barinaga, Lucas Blondel, Nicolás Figal, Luciano Di Lollo, Mateo Mendia, Ayrton Costa, Marco Pellegrino, Lautaro Blanco and Frank Fabra.
  • Midfielders (11): Ignacio Miramón, Rodrigo Battaglia, Milton Delgado, Leandro Paredes, Tomás Belmonte, Williams Alarcón, Ander Herrera, Malcom Braida, Kevin Zenón, Carlos Palacios and Agustín Martegani.
  • Forwards (7): Edinson Cavani, Miguel Merentiel, Alan Velasco, Lucas Janson, Brian Aguirre, Exequiel Zeballos and Milton Giménez.

Boca, which has two consecutive wins, will seek to continue climbing the table and consolidate their performance against an Aldosivi in need of points.
