Frank Fabra and Lisandro López returned to training with the rest of their teammates, in the first practice of the week for the Boca Juniors team, while Edwin Cardona continues with differentiated exercises.
In the practice held at the Ezeiza site, the left-back and the central defender played football with those who did not play in the goalless draw against Racing last Sunday.
Fabra started in the 1-0 win against Patronato, in what was Sebastián Battaglia’s debut as coach of the First Division, but later he suffered a muscular ailment and the coach leaned towards Agustín Sández against Platense. The medical report later indicated that he had a right adductor contracture.
As for Lisandro López, who lost ground in the squad since Miguel Russo’s stage and was a substitute, he comes from a muscular overload in the left hamstring.
On Cardona’s side, he has yet to recover from a grade one tear in the biceps femoris in his right leg. The Colombian midfielder, whose loan expires on December 31 and if Boca does not pay $ 5,500,000 will have to return to the club that owns his pass, Pachuca de México, was injured in a practice two weeks ago, the day that Battaglia took over as the new coach.
Regarding Nicolás Orsini, with a post-traumatic synovitis, the medical report spoke of “a very good evolution”, and that he could be on par with the group this week, but today he returned to work in a differentiated way.
As for the possible team to face next Saturday as a visitor to Rosario Central for the Professional League, he already has a confirmed change that is the entry as a right back of Marcelo Weingandt by Luis Advíncula, who is with the Peruvian National Team to play the three dates of the South American qualifiers.
The rest would be very similar to last weekend, with some doubts in the midfield, the area where Battaglia changed the most in the three games he led. In that sector, Juan Ramírez and Aaron Molinas, the new ones in charge of creating the game, have a guaranteed position, while the doubts are in the right sector and in the center of the field.
To occupy those places, the players who fight for the title -as central midfielder- are Jorman Campuzano, Esteban Rolón and Alan Varela. In the place of inside steering wheel on the right, those who compete are Diego González, Agustín Almendra and Cristian Medina.
