Overview
- Leandro Paredes skipped the first group drills and did a differentiated session at Boca Predio on Tuesday as a preventive measure.
- The club says the step follows accumulated fatigue, a recent cramp against Defensa y Justicia and a prior right hamstring tear that required months of recovery.
- Boca’s technical staff will regulate Paredes’s training loads this week with the explicit aim of preserving him for a possible start in the semifinal versus Banfield on Saturday.
- Local media circulated a video and images of Paredes observing practice from near a goalpost, and coverage has treated the session as cautionary rather than proof of a new injury.
- Paredes’s availability will shape Boca’s midfield selection and game plan, so the next fitness reports before the match are the key indicator to watch for potential lineup changes.
