Overview
- Boca resumed sessions at the Ezeiza training complex on Tuesday as the staff prepares for the Copa Argentina semifinal against Banfield on Saturday, November 14 at Mendoza’s Estadio Malvinas Argentinas.
- Adam Bareiro has completed full physical and football work and is likely to join the traveling delegation, though coaches consider a starting spot unlikely because of current form among the forwards.
- Rodrigo Battaglia is progressing from Achilles surgery and could be added to the squad if he proves he can train without pain in the coming sessions.
- Leandro Paredes was cleared by medical tests and is available to start, and Arruabarrena is weighing one or two changes in attack with Leonel Flores and Tomás Aranda competing for places.
- The team will travel midday Friday to Mendoza and concentrate at the Hilton in Guaymallén, a plan that reflects careful rotation ahead of the Copa Sudamericana final on November 21 and the tight November schedule.
