Overview

  • Boca staff put Edinson Cavani through a demanding session on Wednesday morning and he responded well, with reporting indicating he could be cleared later in the day.
  • Claudio Úbeda plans to list the striker among the substitutes for Sunday rather than start him, pending final medical sign-off.
  • Cavani shared a video from La Bombonera doing ball work, a social media signal that heightened fan optimism about his recovery.
  • The forward has been out since September 14 with the psoas issue, missing multiple matches in a 2025 season disrupted by muscular problems and scoring once in the Clausura.
  • The Superclásico is set for November 9 at La Bombonera and carries implications for 2026 Copa Libertadores qualification.
