Fernando Gago will have his first Superclásico in charge of Boca Juniors, and he will do so by visiting River Plate at the Monumental de Núñez.

As always, the match has significant importance for each team, despite both already having secured their place in the round of 16 of the Argentine Professional League Opening.

Boca Juniors arrives at the match as the leader of Zone A, and after an important victory against Estudiantes at La Bombonera.

The list of called-up players by Fernando Gago in Boca Juniors

This Saturday, the club released a list with 25 players at the coach's disposal to play at the Monumental de Núñez this Sunday.

The appearance of Ander Herrera is the main novelty.

The Spanish midfielder tore a muscle in the match against Newell's (his third muscle injury since arriving at Boca), and missed the matches against Barracas Central, Belgrano, and Estudiantes. He arrives lacking rhythm and with few training sessions under his belt, but the coach decided to have him available. It's unlikely he'll start as a starter.

Milton Giménez is also back at the coach's disposal. The striker suffered a sprain against Belgrano. He did specific work in the last practices, and Gago decided to wait until the last moment. If he's not in optimal condition, Exequiel Zeballos could take his place in the attack.

It's worth remembering, already entering the field of absences on the list, that the Uruguayan Edinson Cavani, as expected, is left out of the Superclásico, after having also suffered a tear. His compatriot Miguel Merentiel, one of the standout players against Estudiantes, will play in the attack.

Other absentees on the list are Camilo Rey Domenech, who is recovering from a lung condition, and Williams Alarcón, who underwent meniscus surgery.
