Boca: Lema and Rojo will form the central defense on Saturday against San Lorenzo | Medina and the Peruvian Advíncula, who returned after the FIFA date, would also be starters

Defenders Marcos Rojo and Cristian Lema will share Boca’s central defense for the first time in this Saturday’s match at La Bombonera against San Lorenzo for the 12th round of the Professional League Cup. The possible inclusion of Lema in the starting lineup would imply a change with respect to the formation that defeated Central Norte for the Argentine Cup.

In this scenario, Lema would take the place of the youthful Aaron Anselmino, which would give way to the long-awaited duo with Rojo in the Boca central defense. Rojo’s injury in the previous months and Lema’s low level had prevented the two of them from having minutes together in the starting team.

Another of the doubts that coach Diego Martínez has is who will accompany Edinson Cavani up front, both in the duel with San Lorenzo and also in the match against Nacional de Potosí for the Copa Sudamericana: Luca Langoni or Miguel Merentiel would be the two variants of the technician being the first one who would run with a little more advantage.

In turn, Cristian Medina and the Peruvian Luis Advíncula, who returned after the FIFA date, would also be part of the starting eleven against San Lorenzo. The likely team would go with Brey; Advíncula, Lemma, Red and White; Blondel, “Equi” Fernández, Medina and Zenón; Merentiel or Langoni and Cavani.

Goalkeeper Sergio Romero, who suffers from an inflammation of the Achilles tendon in his left foot, and Nicolás Figal, who suffered a sprain of the internal lateral ligament in his left knee, are still working separately and will not arrive in optimal condition for Saturday.
