Overview

• After serving as an unused substitute against Puerto Rico, Leandro Paredes flew back from Miami and trained with Boca’s first team on Wednesday under Claudio Úbeda.
• He is in the probable lineup for Saturday’s match against Belgrano at La Bombonera, where Boca will pay tribute to the late coach Miguel Ángel Russo.
• Boca faces selection questions as Edinson Cavani remains a doubt after working separately and Alan Velasco has been ruled out for the remainder of the Clausura.
• Belgrano coach Ricardo Zielinski prepared his regular starters for the visit, with Lucas Zelarayán a possible non-starter due to his long return trip from Europe.
• The anticipated November non-call would spare Paredes long travel for friendlies in Angola and likely Morocco and keep him available for Tigre and the rescheduled Barracas Central fixture.
