A new superclassic appears and it will be for the Argentine Professional League Cup. The duel is valid for the seventh day of the tournament and many already indicate what Boca Juniors eleven will be against River Plate at the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires. Luis Advíncula as a right back and Carlos Zambrano as central player would be part of the starting team.
The final eleven 'Xeneize' that Sebastian Battaglia stopped in training was as follows: Agustín Rossi; Luis Advíncula, Carlos Zambrano, Nicolás Figal, Frank Fabra; Cristian Medina, Pol Fernández, Juan Ramírez; Aaron Molinas; Sebastián Villa and Luis Vazquez. The absence of Marcos Rojo being the most important one so far.
Former Manchester United did not train on Wednesday and the alarms went off, but it was all a precaution of a muscle injury that drags. Everything indicates that he will be present before the 'Millionaires' on the weekend. The idea is that it pairs with the 'Lion' in the central back.
In addition, according to some Argentine media, the nine will be 'Pipa' Benedetto, who on Tuesday trained alongside his teammates and on Wednesday he did a little football entering for Luis Vazquez. For the time being at least he will be on the bench of alternates.
Boca Juniors and River Plate will meet this Sunday, March 20 from 05:00pm (Peruvian time) as part of the seventh round of the Argentine Professional League Cup. The stadium will be the Monumental de Buenos Aires, which will have full capacity.
BOCA WILL WEAR YELLOW T-SHIRT
For the first time in the history of the superclassics, Boca Juniors will leave the traditional blue with yellow details before its eternal rival who, as usual, will wear the white one with red stripe and black shorts. Those led by Sebastián Battaglia have decided to break the tradition and use the yellow one apparently by pure cabal, since they beat Estudiantes de la Plata with this mica, which premiered in 2022, and showed great football mettle.
ADVÍNCULA AND ZAMBRANO JOIN THE SELECTION AFTER THE SUPERCLASSIC
It is important to note that this will be the Peruvians' last match in Argentina before joining the Peruvian national team training and focusing clearly on the South American Qualifiers heading to Qatar 2022. Peru will travel to Montevideo to face Uruguay and then return to Lima to play Paraguay. The two can be starters in Ricardo Gareca's scheme.
THE LAST BOCA JUNIORS VS RIVER PLATE
