Boca: Fabra’s disqualification was known for the red card in the Libertadores final against Fluminense

The list of Boca pitches that will play against Nacional at the 4,000 meters in Potosí was published on Monday. Franco Fabra was excluded from those mentioned. Surprise? No, since The Colombian was provisionally disqualified for the Reds in the Libertadores final. But something was missing: how many games would he lose in this South American. And, as Olé advanced, The Conmebol Disciplinary Unit ended up formalizing a two-date suspension.

As you will remember, Fabra saw a direct red card against Fluminense, at the end of the first extra half. That situation, a slap to Nino, captain of Influenza, meant that Boca lost the extra man they had in the final (just before eliminating Kennedy) at a key moment, because 11 against 10 they were looking for an equalizer with different minutes ahead. Furthermore, it was an attitude that ended up breaking his bond with the people, who even today resist him and even boo him when his turn comes to enter.

Well then, By regulation, since it was a direct red, that suspension of the Libertadores was transferred to the South American, which is ultimately another Conmebol tournament.. Fabra will not only miss Wednesday’s match in Bolivia, but he will not even be able to play against Sportivo Trinidense on Tuesday 9 April at the Bombonera.

The alternative number 11 of Boca that Martínez tried on his debut

Martínez tested in training this Monday in Ezeiza, with Javier García; Di Lollo, Anselmino, Valentini, Saracchi; Campuzano, Mauricio Benítez, Juan Ramírez; Vicente Taborda; Norberto Briasco and Benedetto.

Boca’s alternative squad for their debut in the Copa Sudamericana

There were already some indications on what Boca’s list of concentrates could be for traveling to Bolivia. Because Edinson Cavani didn’t train this Sunday and neither did Marcos Rojo; for Blondel’s injury, for Luis Advíncula’s fever and even for the two teams that Diego Martínez tried in Ezeiza to debut in the Copa Sudamericano. And the publication of the players that make up the delegation has done nothing but confirm what has already been hypothesized.

Most of the usual starters remain, with the exception of Leandro Brey and Lautaro Blanco who will board the plane to Sucre on Tuesday.

The rest of those who make up the list are substitutes, including many who have added very few minutes throughout the year and most are players from the club’s youth team. In fact, already in the official South American list that Boca presented to Conmebol there are 13 boys from the quarry present who have not even made their debut in the First Division.

Evidently a debut that Boca doesn’t like. Even less so for Diego Martínez, who will have to face a chaotic trip to Potosí this week and who, upon returning, will also have to immediately prepare for Saturday’s match in Rosario against Newell’s, where a large part of the Cup standings will play the championship playoffs . There is also, undoubtedly, another of the explanations why the list of concentrates for the Cup premiere is alternative.

There are only 22 players that Martínez brings to Bolivia. Among them, three archers.
