The Boca squad trained this Friday in Ezeiza and is putting the finishing touches to prepare for Banfield in the sixth round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament. After practice, it was revealed that Miguel Ángel Russo will leave several players out for this match and will return to the traditional squad list with 24 players.
According to journalist Emiliano Raddi, Boca’s head coach will once again call up 24 players for the match against El Taladro, leaving behind the idea of having the entire team concentrate as happened on the trip to Mendoza, where Xeneize faced Independiente Rivadavia and won 3-0 with goals from Paredes, Zeballos, and Velasco.
The players who would be left out of the list, which will be officially announced this Saturday at noon, are Kevin Zenón, Lucas Blondel, Agustín Martegani, and Ignacio Miramón. In addition, the injured Ander Herrera and Tomás Belmonte.
Kevin Zenón would be left out of the squad.
In this way, there are still no details about what will happen with the players left out of the squad by the coach’s decision, and whether they will be considered again or if it is a temporary matter due to their performance in training. The truth is that Zenón, Blondel, Martegani, and Miramón have fallen behind in the coach’s consideration.
The coach will have to decide whether to keep the same eleven who started the rout against Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza or make some changes. Alan Velasco has a chance to earn a spot based on his performance in the last match and could take Carlos Palacios’ place.
The coach must decide whether to keep or change the lineup.
However, it is important to note that Russo has not given any details about the players he will use against El Taladro this Sunday from 18:15 at La Bombonera.
