Mariano Herrónthe firefighter who has Boca Juniors, took over the professional team after The dismissal of Fernando Gago And it will be the one who directs the team this Sunday at the visit to Tigre for the last day of the regular phase of the Opening Tournament. The Xeneize will put into play the chance of being as leader of Zone A and staying at the top of the general table that brings together the casts of both groups. Will be the prior to the shock of Eighth final which will play at La Bombonera the following week, with a rival to confirm (today it would be Godoy Cruz, but also have Chances of Córdoba and Sarmiento de Junín).
The name of the future coach is not yet defined and, while The two main pointeds are Gabriel Milito and Gustavo QuinterosHerrón has the assurance of directing this weekend and will also have open credit for the playoffs. His presence at the bank at the Mata-Mata will depend on two factors: 1) the speed with which Juan Román Riquelme and the Football Council hire the new DT; and 2) Also of the team’s performance during his visit to the matador in Victoria.
For now, the interim already stopped a first team thinking about the clash of this weekend. The novelties are the return to the line of Cuatro in the background and the appearance of a player who generated controversy for his exclusion in the last Superclassic: Alan Velasco. The DT aligned to: Agustín Marchesín; Luis Advíncula, Rodrigo Battaglia, Marcos Rojo, Lautaro Blanco; Tomás Belmonte, Milton Delgado, Kevin Zenón; Velasco; Carlos Palacios and Miguel Merentiel. In the absence of several days to experiment, if these eleven are confirmed, the variant with respect to River: Velasco for Ayrton Costa.
In the mouth there are news regarding the call at this point of the week. As he could find out Infobaethe one who fights to get into the summons as long as it is completely rehabilitated from the right ankle sprain that prevented him from being in the superclassic is Milton Giménez. A priori, the plan of the coaching staff is that former Banfield scorer adds a few minutes to have a rhythm for the round of 16, taking into account that Edinson Cavani It will be safe for your tear.
How is Uruguayan rehabilitation for its severe distension in a twin? Although there was no official medical part, the Matador It is completely discarded for the clash of this weekend and just started precautionary works in the area. Moreover, from El Boc Xeneize advances in the Opening Tournament, It could only be present in the quarter round.
There is another important name that, like Milton Giménez, was on the list of concentrates for the Superclassic but finally remained outside the substitute bank. It’s about Ander Herrerawho has been recovery for a tear in his right quadriceps. The Basque was dying to participate in the Monumental against River, but the coaching staff put a stop since the same thing had happened in Rosario when he was injured before Newell’s. The former Athletic Bilbao requested to play despite the fact that the recommendation of the doctors was that it remained a more time outside the courts and the relaxation was aggravated more than expected. Even A tendon of the affected area was compromisedwhich extended his return even more. Herrera will not be against Tigre and neither for the round of 16. If you are 100%, you will just face the hypothetical rooms of the championship.
Finally you have to mention that Nicolás Figal He had action again against Barracas Central in the reserve party. The 31 -year -old defender He underwent an arthroscopy at the end of last year And he still did not play official meetings so far from 2025. After the recovery of Cristian Lema, Herrón and the future DT of Boca will have another experienced defender for the near future.
