Soccer stopped for a month also served to allow Boca to recover two soccer players who had lost in the final stretch of the Super League and who had complicated the defense set-up for Miguel Russo: Lisandro López and Carlos Zambrano. Both, when they return to training, will be able to train with their partners.
The former Benfica and Arsenal could not be in the last three games of the tournament that enshrined Boca in a heads up with River. The fracture of the proximal phalanx of the fourth toe of the left foot that he suffered in the game against Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero occurred on February 17 and the treatment was extended until the first days of this week.
The footballer has already been discharged and trains like the rest of the group in exercises coordinated by PF Damián Lanatta via Zoom in two shifts.
López, who has 40 games at the club, five goals and two titles, is a starting piece in the Miguel Russo structure. And his teammate behind is in debate, since the good level of Junior Alonso (he has 33 games at the club) earned him a place in the competition with Izquierdoz (66 games in Boca and three goals, with three expulsions). The idea of the Football Council, in fact, is to buy the footballer's pass to Lille de France (the option is 3.5 million dollars but it remained on a stand-by due to the pandemic) and secure the left-handed defender for three more years .
Behind them are the newcomer Carlos Zambrano and the boy Gastón Ávila, whom the DT thought he would use in a good part of the Super League Cup so that he would have minutes of shooting with the starters facing the Libertadores. The fight for the title will be in each training and the DT had already warned of this before the recess forced by the Covid 19.

The Peruvian Zambrano also evolved from his medical situation. And it was much more complex, despite the fact that it went unnoticed in the middle of the celebrations for the title. In the match against Gymnastics, the defender suffered a fracture of the seventh and eighth rib and everything was complicated by a secondary pneumothorax and pulmonary contusion. He was intervened and was hospitalized for five days.

Now at home, he has not yet been definitively discharged because they are waiting for other complementary studies to make sure of the evolution of his injury, but he has already started making physical movements to recover. He even shared videos running on a treadmill at home.
For now he only played 170 minutes since he arrived at the club but it is in Miguel Russo's mind as a possible starter for the team's future in the medium term.

Thus, when the quarantine manages to get up and return to practice, the DT will have the five central markers available to choose and shape their starting partner. It is that since his arrival, he respected most of the armed structures but he was also evaluating. And as for López his personality stands out, for Alonso his speed and better handling of the ball, for Izquierdoz his tactical order and while he finishes making his diagnosis with the boy Ávila and Zambrano, with a long inactivity in 2019 in his club, then will make a decision. Sure, when the ball rolls again.
