Russo Sets Boca XI for Aldosivi With Costa In for Injured Pellegrino

Russo sticks with a settled side to preserve momentum after back-to-back wins.

Overview

  • Ayrton Costa will replace an injured Pellegrino in central defense, the only change from the win over Banfield.
  • Local outlets disagree on whether the sidelined defender is Marco or Mateo Pellegrino, with the absence expected to last about two weeks.
  • Rodrigo Battaglia received medical clearance after a muscle complaint and rejoined the likely XI.
  • Agustín Marchesín keeps the starting spot in goal after three consecutive clean sheets, while the Aguirre–Battaglia–Paredes–Palacios midfield and the MerentielCavani duo are set to continue.
  • Boca visits Aldosivi on Sunday at 14:30 at José María Minella, with Sebastián Zunino refereeing and ESPN Premium broadcasting.
