Boca Juniors traveled to San Pablo but before that the coach, Sebastián Battaglia, had formed a team thinking about the match against Corinthians for the third group E date of the Copa Libertadores. A dangerous visit, with its irregular walk, that would be key to start directing the course in the semester and in the international competition.
With the confirmation of Javier García -coming out of the last two games -as the starting goalkeeper due to Agustín Rossi’s injury after completing the suspension, with the return of Peruvian Carlos Zambrano to the starting lineup with Gabriel Aranda -no more central markers are available – and with only one unaware of the attack, the technical director seemed confident enough to measure himself against another candidate in the area.
What is doubt? Darius Benedetto. This is the scorer the coach used in three games of the week ended in a contracture in the game against Central Córdoba and that is why he has been reviewed in recent hours. If it is full, it will be the owner.

angOtherwise, they will keep him to avoid an injury that will prevent him from meaning matches. It is that on a strict schedule, any physical discomfort can lead to a loss in the League Cup outcome and the final dates of the first round of the Libertadores.
In the middle of the court, who replaced Diego Octopus González -he still has to serve a day’s ban- is Cristian Medina. And so, again DT will put up 4-3-1-2 with Juan Ramírez as interior, as he proved in the second period against Central Córdoba, and Óscar Romero as coordinator, but with the ability to return if necessary to build a line of four ruffles.
It will be an eleven of dangers and gamesdespite the fact that in the last two games Boca was almost costly and needed Garcia’s hands to avoid defeat.
The attack will have Eduardo Salvio – emotionally boosted by two goals in Santiago del Estero after low -performing games – and not Zeballos, who will be retained by the coach in case he needs to speed up at one point in the game.
And the only doubt is Luis Vázquez or Benedetto. Nicolás Orsini will be waiting for his turn in the back. The goal? Make the absence of Villa, crucial to Boca’s attack in 2022.
So, Boca’s possible starting eleven to play in Brazil is with Javier García; Luis Advíncula, Carlos Zambrano, Gabriel Aranda, Frank Fabra; Cristian Medina, Guillermo Fernandez, Juan Ramirez; Oscar Romero; Eduardo Salvio and Vázquez or Benedetto.
