Boca Juniors is already preparing for next weekend's clash, when they host Defensa y Justicia at La Bombonera, for matchday 10 of the Apertura.

This Monday, the squad led by Fernando Gago returned to training, after resting over the weekend, following a good win on Friday against Central Córdoba.

The Xeneize's week began with the news of the recovery of several players who had been carrying different injuries, and the coach would have them available again to face Halcón de Varela.

But now problems appear again: Kevin Zenón is suffering from a muscle discomfort and is doubtful.

New loss for Boca?

The former Unión player has established himself in recent matches playing as a left midfielder, just when Gago seems to have found a more or less fixed lineup for the team, with the 4-3-1-2 formation.

Zenón, playing with Milton Delgado as central midfielder and Ander Herrera on the right, is part of the consolidation of a Boca midfield that is starting to show better play and understanding.

According to TyC Sports, his presence in the next match is currently doubtful. His discomfort will be evaluated during the week and the corresponding tests will be carried out to see if he can play on Sunday.

Already recovered from their respective tears, it should be noted that Gago will have Tomás Belmonte, Ignacio Miramón and Camilo Rey Domenech available again.

If Zenón is ruled out, the coach will have alternatives, but the three midfielders mentioned have their main position as central midfielder, which is now occupied with notable distinction by the young Milton Delgado.

At the same time, the recovery of Rodrigo Battaglia, who was absent in a couple of games due to muscle discomfort, has been confirmed. The former Atlético Mineiro player is available and as is known can play in the central defense or in the midfield.

Finally, Cristian Lema also seems to have overcome his injury, having not yet had any minutes this season. The central defender injured his ankle and the injury has complicated him more than once since preseason. Even so, when Lema was available, he was not called up by Gago, who seems not to consider him.
