The stage is set for another epic Superclásico, and Boca Juniors coach Claudio Úbeda has dropped a bombshell with his squad selection just hours before kickoff at the Estadio Monumental. Facing a pivotal Torneo Apertura clash against arch-rivals River Plate, Úbeda's drastic choices signal a bold new tactical direction for the Xeneizes.
In a stunning move, three key players—Kevin Zenón, Lucas Janson, and Agustín Martegani—have been left out of the squad entirely. Crucially, all three are reported to be fully fit, meaning their omission is purely a tactical decision by the manager. This shake-up suggests Úbeda is prioritizing specific qualities or a renewed level of commitment for one of world football's most intense away fixtures.
With the rest of the traveling party confirmed, all eyes are now on the starting eleven Úbeda will deploy. By sidelining regular contributors, the coach has amplified the pressure and intrigue surrounding his lineup. This high-stakes match is more than just three points; it's a chance to define Boca's spirit and trajectory for the rest of the campaign.
