The midfielder Ezequiel Fernandez He abandoned practice this Friday for a discomfort in the left hamstring and probably did not make it to this Sunday’s game against Belgrano de Córdobaat home, for the eighth date of the Professional Football League (LPF) Cup.
This bad news for the coach, Diego Martínez, came at noon, when the former Tigre footballer felt “a puncture” and had to leave training, so medical tests will be done in the afternoon to find out the severity of the injury.
In principle It would be a muscle injury that would not only take him out of Sunday but also out of the next games.. The doubt in the midfield will now pass whether Ezequiel Bullaude or Juan Ramírez will enter that place.
On the other hand, the coach rehearsed with other names in the defense while waiting for the recovery against the clock of Crisitan Lemafacing the game.
Lema started the week with muscle overload and a right ankle injury, which is why he did not train post-Superclásico along with the rest of the week, and consequently Martínez decided to wait it out even though he is already close to making the final decision.

The positive thing is that this morning he showed a good pace and that is why it is an unknown, which in principle will be at least an alternative.
The main candidate to replace him is Nicolas Valentiniso between practice on Thursday and this Friday it emerged that he would occupy the place in a central duo with Nicolas Figal.
A probable Boca would be: Sergio Romero; Luis Advíncula, Cristian Lema or Nicolás Valentini, Nicolás Figal and Lautaro Blanco; Jabes Saralegui, Cristian Medina, Ezequiel Bullaude or Juan Ramírez and Kevin Zenón; Miguel Merentiel and Edinson Cavani.
On the other hand, Frank Fabra reappeared in Boca Predio after his absence for three consecutive days due to a flu case, for which the possibilities of dengue and coronavirus were ruled out with the respective medical studies.
The Colombian left back trained differently and in the next few hours it will be known whether or not he will be part of the squad.
The scarce 10 points in zone B put them in the obligation to win in their next presentation in front of their people so as not to lose track of Newell’s Old Boys de Rosario (12), Defensa y Justicia (12), Racing Club (13) and Lanús (13) in the fight to qualify for the quarterfinals.
Boca will host Belgrano this Sunday, at 7:15 p.m., at La Bombonera.
