Leandro Paredes Rising: Return to Boca Juniors!

If you’re a Boca Juniors fan, hold on to this! Leandro Paredes is almost set to return to the starting lineup for the match against São Paulo next Tuesday, on 8. The hot news is from Olé.

What Happened?

In the last game, in which Boca drew 2 a 2 with Gimnasia de Mendoza, coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena decided to keep Paredes on the bench. This was because the midfielder felt a discomfort during the match against Vélez, back in the Copa Argentina. But don’t worry! He traveled to Mendoza, was fine on the bench, and didn’t come on.

Training and Expectations

Now, Paredes is already revving up the engines. He trained with the group that didn’t play in Mendoza and is expected to take Rey Domenech’s place in midfield. Arruabarrena is calm and revealed that the captain recovered well and trained normally before the last match.

Changes to the Squad

On the other hand, the team will have a setback: Milton Delgado won’t be able to play due to a hamstring strain in his thigh. That means Arruabarrena will have to adjust the midfield he usually uses.

Probable Lineup

The big hope is that Boca will keep some strong names, such as:

• Álvaro Montero
• Toto Belmonte
• Alan Velasco

In addition, Leandro Lozano, Lautaro Blanco, Santiago Ascacibar, Miguel Merentiel, and Sebastián Villa should return to the team.

This is how the formation should look:

• Goalkeeper: Montero
• Defenders: Lozano, Di Lollo or Pellegrino, Herrera or Pellegrino, and Blanco
• Midfield and Attack: Ascacibar, Paredes, Belmonte, Velasco, Merentiel, and Villa

So, folks, stay tuned because the match promises to deliver! And who knows—maybe Boca will dominate São Paulo, right? Let’s keep watching!
