After a promising transfer market, a huge expectation precedes Boca Juniors' debut in the 2025 Professional League, which will take place at La Bombonera this Sunday against Argentinos Juniors.

Coach Fernando Gago released the list of called-up players yesterday, and the return of the two captains, Marcos Rojo and Edinson Cavani, stands out, probable starters for the official start after having missed the preseason friendlies due to physical discomfort.

Rodrigo Battaglia and Alan Velasco also make their debut in the call-up, after their arrival at Xeneize.

Absentees in Gago's call-up

There are three players who were left out of this initial duel for physical reasons.

Cristian Lema seemed ready to return, but during the week he suffered an inflammation of the ankle he had injured and his return to the fields is postponed.

Meanwhile, Tomás Belmonte and Ignacio Miramón miss the clash against the Bicho due to muscle overload.

It is also worth noting the absence of Lautaro Blanco, starting left-back, who in recent days was the protagonist of rumors of departure in Boca, with versions linking him to Racing, León de México, and Santos de Brasil. In this position, Gago's list includes Marcelo Saracchi and Frank Fabra.

Finally, two of the most recent reinforcements, Agustín Marchesín and Williams Alarcón, do not appear in the call-up, as they are not yet enabled.
