Benedetto came out in the first half in the key victory against Gimnasia, 2-1, in La Plata and, although there was no medical report pending the corresponding studies, the soleus area of his left leg is affected.
In this way the “9” would miss the rest of the season, Sunday’s game, the semifinal against Patronato for the Argentine Cup, a hypothetical final if Boca beats the entrerrianos and the Champions Cup final to be played next November 6th.
As for the rest of the team, frank fabrascorer of the first goal against Gimnasia, could play even though he is at the physical limit, so he asked for a change in the second half, with Agustín Sandez entering.
The Colombian striker, one of the strongholds of “Xeneize”, has a problem in his right hamstring and also a strong blow to the tibia, but sources close to the medical staff told Télam that they would not prevent him from being in the Bombonera on Weekend
The only doubt that coach Hugo Ibarra would have is if he plays with three strikers or if he does it with four midfielders, as in most of the games he played throughout the League.
The topic goes through the current situation of Villa, the Colombian striker who underwent surgery on September 1 for an injury to the external meniscus of his right knee and barely added minutes against Newell’s Old Boys and Gimnasia.
The footballer is picking up pace and after a weak second half in Rosario, the day before he showed some of the virtues for which at some point he was considered one of the most unbalanced players in the Professional League.
It was important in the second goal of the youthful Luca Langoni and is the “ace in the sleeve” that Ibarra has to play against Independiente. If the idea would be for him to play from the beginning, Langoni would not come out but a midfielder. Before Gimnasia Juan Ramírez played, then Cristian Medina entered and the midfielder would be between the two if the coach decides to play 4-4-2.

The possible starting eleven would be with Agustin Rossi; Luis Advíncula, Carlos Zambrano, Nicolás Figal and Frank Fabra; Guillermo “Pol” Fernandez, Alan Varela and Óscar Romero; Villa, Ramírez or Medina; Langoni and Vazquez.
This Friday the squad trained in Ezeiza, they carried out regenerative exercises for those who played in La Plata and before noon they went home.
This time the much-talked about Friday barbecue was suspended between leaders, squad, coaching staff, doctor and assistants.
It weighed on the fact that the members of the soccer secretariat and some auxiliaries were at the Independiente stadium witnessing the consecration of the reserve as champion of the League (they had already obtained the 2021 with Hugo Ibarra) with their 3-0 victory over the local, with goals from Federico Aguirre, Maximiliano Zalazar, from a penalty kick, and Lautaro Di Lollo, center back for the Argentine under-20 team led by Javier Mascherano.
This time the coach was Mariano Herron, who held that position after being Sebastián Battaglia’s assistant and the first division was led by Ibarra.
The Boca reserve added 57 points and surpassed Vélez by one, after winning 18 games, drawing 3 and losing 6, with 48 goals for and 20 against. Their top scorers were Gonzalo Morales with 11, Maximiliano Zalazar with 6 and Luca Langoni with 5, all with participation in the top team.
In the Herrón stage he had 15 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, with 40 goals for and 12 against.
Boca practices again on Saturday morning at the Pedro Pompilio complex and at night they will be concentrated in a hotel in the Monserrat neighborhood.
Meanwhile, speculation continues in the “Boca world” about the soccer strength that Independiente and River can do in this final instance, thinking that if they achieve good results they would benefit their two traditional adversaries, but they know that a victory does not make them depend on anyone and it is the best way to become champions.
For next Sunday’s meeting, the Boca partners will have to have been present in 10 of the last 13 games and the lifelong ones in 4. As for the adherents, there will be 3,500 tickets available from this afternoon in the high south grandstand.
Boca plays next Sunday at home against Independiente, from 17, for the 27th. and last date of the professional League and with the arbitration of Darío Herrera.
