📋 No Paredes as Boca squad named for Argentinos Juniors clash | OneFootball

The Xeneize announced the list of players for their visit to La Paternal in their debut in the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF).

After the presentation of Leandro Paredes at La Bombonera, Boca Juniors faces its debut in the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF) against Argentinos Juniors in La Paternal.

Miguel Ángel Russo has called up 25 players for the debut in the championship, and there are several significant absences in the list.

Paredes, who was welcomed by 50,000 people at the stadium, will have to wait a little longer to wear the blue and gold jersey again. The world champion midfielder has trained with his new teammates but was left out of the squad.

Ander Herrera, Milton Giménez, and Ayrton Costa, who are not 100% physically fit, are also not on the list. Meanwhile, Carlos Palacios did not train due to a fever but was finally included among the called-up players and might be a starter.

Cristian Lema, Marcos Rojo, Sergio 'Chiquito' Romero, Esteban Rolón, and Marcelo Saracchi are also absent, as the coaching staff does not count on them, and they might seek an exit in this transfer window.

Exequiel Zeballos is not among the called-up players, despite having trained normally since returning from the Club World Cup; meanwhile, Camilo Rey Domenech was also not called up and seems to have fallen out of Russo's favor.

Thus, the possible starting eleven for Boca Juniors against Argentinos Juniors would be: Agustín Marchesin; Luis Advíncula, Nicolás Figal, Marco Pellegrino, and Lautaro Blanco; Kevin Zenón, Rodrigo Battaglia, Williams Alarcón, and Carlos Palacios or Malcom Braida; Alan Velasco and Miguel Merentiel.
