Boca’s coach, Jorge Almirón, will have a tough challenge this Sunday, when his team faces Almagro for the Argentine Cup, since he will have to replace seven players who will be out due to injuries and due to the FIFA date.
The “Xeneize”, who has just lost to Tigre for the League Cup after becoming a semifinalist in the Copa Libertadores, will meet on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. with Almagro, a cast that plays in the First National, at the stadium Carlos Augusto Mercado Luna from the province of La Rioja.
There will be three absences due to injury: Valentín Barco (in the left iliopsoas muscle), Norberto Briasco (due to a sprained left ankle) and Luca Langoni (due to a grade II muscle injury).
In addition, Almirón will not have Luis Advíncula, who was called up to the Peruvian team for the start of the South American Qualifiers, nor Leandro Brey, Nicolás Valentini and Cristian Medina, who were summoned by Javier Mascherano to train with the Argentine Sub team. 2. 3.
In this way, the Boca coach will lose three starting players such as Advíncula, Valentini and Medina, in addition to Barco, who has already been absent in the last three games. The good news for Almirón is that the Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani was not called up for his team by the Argentine Marcelo Bielsa, so he could be part of the match with Almagro, for the round of 16 of the Argentine Cup.
