The final details of the sample. Boca will make their Professional League debut next Sunday at La Bombonera against Atlético Tucumán and this Thursday, in the penultimate important test carried out by coach Hugo Ibarra, there was a team with seven changes compared to the one that appeared in the international Super Cup against the races.

The highlight? No doubt Sergio ‘Chiquito’ Romerowho took the goal in place of Javier García, after having barely had 45 minutes officially in the ‘Xeneize’ shirt, during the summer tournament against Everton in Chile.

While this Friday has remained a workout, usually Thursday exams are what set the pace for the weekend.

As a starter, the former national team goalkeeper will make his official debut for the “Xeneize”, after arriving in July last year and having surgery on his right knee last September.

The 35-year-old played just 45 minutes this month in a friendly against Everton from Chile, which finished 0-0 at the Bicentenario de San Juan stadium.

The team formed with Sergio Romero; Marcelo Weigandt, Bruno Valdez, Nicolas Figal and Agustin Sandez; Guillermo “Pol” Fernandez, Alan Varela and Oscar Romero; Luca Langoni, Nicolas Orsini and Sebastian Villa.

So, in addition to Javier García’s “Chiquito” Romero, the other variations were that of Weigandt by Luis Advíncula; Figal and Valdez by Facundo Roncaglia and Frank Fabra; Romero in place of Juan Ramírez; and Langoni and Orsini for Norberto Briasco and Darío Benedetto, the only one not to benefit from the general amnesty of the AFA as he owes four dates of disqualification.

The other absentee will be the Colombian Fabra, who, given the lack of definition regarding the lifting of sanctions, has been authorized to travel with the Colombian national team to play this weekend against the United States.

The Boca team will return to training this Friday at the Ezeiza property and, on Saturday, at Casa Amarilla, before being concentrated in a hotel in the Buenos Aires district of Montserrat.

Boca, two-time champions of Argentina, will play at home next Sunday against Atlético Tucumán from 21:30 for the first round of the Professional Football League (LPF) with the refereeing of Jorge Baliño.
