Overview

• Manager Miguel Angel Russo expelled Marcos Rojo, Marcelo Saracchi and Cristian Lema from the first-team dressing room after a heated argument following a 1-0 loss to Huracán on July 31.
• Boca Juniors has now gone 11 consecutive matches without a regulation-time victory, marking the club’s worst run in its history.
• The decision is final with no plan for reinstatement, forcing Rojo to consider terminating his contract in order to find a new club.
• Rojo has not featured since May’s penalty shootout win over Lanús and has yet to receive any offers for the 2025 season.
• The banishments expose internal tensions in a squad that has underperformed during Russo’s tenure.
