Boca begins to play the 2026 season and in the preview of the match against Deportivo Riestra from Sunday in The Bombonera. Y Claudio Ubeda has already defined what the starting team of the Xeneizeat least for the start of the season, since he has several absences due to injuries.
«The probable starting lineup for Boca’s debut is with Marchesín, Barinaga, Di Lollo, Costa, Blanco, Ander Herrera, Delgado, Paredes, Velasco, Zeballos and Lucas Janson»reported journalist Tato Aguilera, who follows Xeneize’s daily life on TyC Sports, about the team against Riestra.
«Lucas Janson will probably play as a nine, who has been playing as a number 9. In all the training sessions of the last half, he was always the center forward of the substitute team. That is why Úbeda puts it as the first option. Today, Lucas Janson starts»Tato added.
«He is the first to train. And it’s not easy to do it when you don’t add a minute all year. The kid has commitment and is highly valued by the coaching staff. He trains as if he were a starter. The con is the performance in the matches. The few minutes he has played»added the journalist.
«It’s something that works against you. It has not been the first option for the replacement. He hasn’t had minutes. He has been a substitute for the past year. Now a great opportunity opens up, you have the chance of a lifetime. If Janson doesn’t play, Velasco can play as a false nine.”said the communicator.
«We ruled out Merentiel. They tell me that neither Cavani nor Giménez are ready to play. Boca has several forwards, but they do not enjoy sporting health. Giménez ended the year with pubalgia.stated the journalist about the situation of the forwards who are damaged for the start of the season.
«The Cavani thing is a special treatment. This week is decisive. The deadlines can be brought forward due to Merentiel’s injury. But yesterday they told me that it would be difficult for me to make it to Sunday’s game.”added Tato Aguilera, giving details of the big problem that Boca has with the forwards.
