Overview

• Palacios said he lived through “momentos turbulentos” and that “se dijeron cosas feas e innecesarias,” speaking on the club’s channel after the Aldosivi win.
• He was out of Boca’s matchday squads from July 18 to August 17, a spell covered by reports of knee tendinitis alongside rumors of indiscipline.
• Since returning in Mendoza, he has contributed directly to goals in three consecutive league wins, including an assist to Miguel Merentiel and a cross finished by Lautaro Di Lollo.
• Reports recount earlier disciplinary sanctions, from being dropped by Fernando Gago after a missed flight to another internal punishment under Miguel Ángel Russo.
• Palacios credited dressing-room support for his turnaround as Russo restored him to the XI, with observers pointing to Rosario Central on September 14 as a measure of whether he can sustain this form.
