What Diego Martinez It has few variations with respect to its starting team, it is known. That the difficulties presented by the injuries have increased even more in recent weeks. However, There is a decision that the Boca coach made in the last few hours that is unprecedented and that is related to the discomfort that Kevin Zenón has been experiencing since the weekend.
This Monday, Zenón’s risk worsened, based on the certainty that confirmed that the midfielder has a muscle strain that puts his presence in the game against Fortaleza at risk. And that doubt that the coaching staff raises (which because he is a key player does not dare to rule him out completely), It caused Martínez to have special consideration and decide to delay the delivery of the list of concentrates for the match on Wednesday night. The coach’s usual habit (up until now he always did it) was to present it two nights away from the game in question.
Tuesday’s practice, key
This postponement, without a doubt, is related to waiting for what happens in the next few hours – especially in the morning practice on Tuesday – with the former Union. It will probably be required to make a final decision: if you concentrate on it and wait until the last minute or if he is definitely marginalized from the cup match thinking of not aggravating the situation and that he can recover well for what is coming for Boca.
Conspicuous absence
On Sunday, shortly after the start of the match that would end in defeat against Atlético Tucumán at the start of the Professional League, it became known about Zenón’s annoyance and – at first – the fact of leaving the title to Frank Fabra, so It was reported as a “muscle overload.” A while later, with the confirmation that Zurdo was left off the substitute bench, the alarms went off. And now with the studies in Buenos Aires (although until now there was no official medical report), the chance of losing a fundamental player for the immediate future presents a real problem for the coach.
Fundamental player
It is that Zeno It is so important in this Boca that it was part of 20 of the 22 games that the team has played since the official competition of this 2024 began. Even his average number of minutes (80 per game) puts him among those who spent the longest time on the court. The midfielder was only missing (besides Sunday) in the draw against Nacional Potosí in the debut of the Copa Sudamericana.
For this reason (and with the level shown by Fabra in his replacement), For Martínez, Zenón is a player without replacement in this Boca. And so, the decisions around him can change even the most ingrained customs since he took over at the club.
