The idea now, both of the coach and the medical staff and the footballer himself, is “not to risk” in the next training sessions and on Saturday “try” to see how he feels. Close friends of the footballer told Télam that “he does not want to miss this game in any way”, which will be his first superclásico with fans in the Bombonera after the pandemic. The central marker, moreover, is fundamental in the face of the eventual modification of the tactical drawing: Ibarra analyzes the idea of putting on a 3-5-2. Tomorrow, in soccer practice, it will be seen if he insists or returns to the more traditional 4-3-3 or 4-4-2.
Boca’s squad practiced yesterday for 40 minutes openly for the press and there it was possible to see that the defender was fine, but the annoyance arose in the final part of the training, when they were carrying out a tactic. The positive news for the coach was that Cristian Medina and Juan Ramírez worked normally: both came from injuries (plantar fasciitis in the right foot and discomfort in the hip, respectively), and they were not present last weekend in the victory 2- 1 to Columbus in Santa Fe.
Medina was a starter before his injury and could return; and Ramírez has many chances to get into the starting 11. Meanwhile, the Colombian striker Sebastián Villa, operated last week on the meniscus of his right knee, was in kinesiology for the second time as part of his recovery process, which is estimated to end in the last days of next October.
Today Boca will carry out the classic soccer practice on Thursdays in its stadium, a modality that this coaching staff began to adopt, and surely the idea of a possible team for Sunday will be seen. However, the caution with Rojo and the variants that Ibarra analyzes make it impossible to diagnose whether he will work with the definitive formation.
Solari, the doubt in River
For his part, Gallardo already has the recovered Emanuel Mammana and is waiting for Pablo Solari. The defender, who left at halftime against Barracas Central on Sunday due to an overload in the right posterior muscle, will seek to add his tenth consecutive game as a starter as the defense’s first central marker. As for the team’s top scorer, he has a minor tear in his left quadratus femoris muscle, a very rare injury for a footballer. The former Talleres and Colo-Colo, who has just been a starter in the last 6 games and with 7 goals is the top scorer of the “millionaire” in this semester, only one date was absent from his incorporation -due to flu- in the defeat with Sarmiento by 2-1, in the Monumental.
In today’s training at the Ezeiza venue, both players are going to participate in some demanding work with the ball that will give Gallardo the chance to decide on his calls. As for Franco Armani, it was already confirmed over the weekend by the coach, who took care of him in the match against Barracas Central due to the tear he suffered in the left pectineus in the adductor area against Defense and Justice, for the Argentine Cup.
With this panorama, the team will be defined between today and tomorrow, but doubts remain on the right side due to the return of Andrés Herrera, in the middle with Rodrigo Aliendro and Juan Fernando Quintero; and above there are doubts with the two forwards. For now they have a place in the Armani and Enzo Pérez team, who will return to the starting lineup; Paulo Díaz, Milton Casco and Nicolás de la Cruz; and Mammana, who has been playing as the first central marker for 10 games.
