Boca Juniors faces a complicated return to official activity in the 2020 Copa Libertadores with a visit to Libertad de Paraguay
, which in addition to being the only leader of group H and with an ideal score, reaches this commitment with the filming that gave it the resumption in the championship of his country.
The Paraguayan team has played 11 games since July 21, while in Argentina they have already accumulated six months without any official competition and training was resumed very recently.
But in addition,
Boca is involved in doubts due to the wave of coronavirus cases
that it had on its campus, which makes it even more difficult for its visit to the Paraguayan team, in the game that
is played from 9:00 p.m. (in Argentina)
at the stadium La Nueva Olla de Asunción,
with live televising on ESPN 2 (Cablevisión channels 103 and DirecTV channels 623)
.
At night, Boca's lineup was confirmed.
The team that Leandro Somoza leads tonight -Miguel Russo did not travel to Paraguay because they were twice a risk group- starts with Andrada;
Jara, Izquierdoz, Zambrano, Mas;
Campuzano, Pol Fernández;
Salvio, Tevez, Maroni;
and Soldano.

Boca traveled to Paraguay with 21 soccer players, and at the last moment Lisandro López, who was going to be the starter and continued with symptoms compatible with the coronavirus, was disaffected from the payroll.
Similarly,
in Libertad it was announced on Wednesday that Argentine defender Diego Viera tested positive for Covid-19 in the last test
, for which he was marginalized for this Thursday's duel, in which he was going to start.
Boca debuted with a 1-1 draw in Venezuela against Caracas, and later beat Independiente 3-0, with whom he accumulated four units.
After visiting Asunción, Boca returns to play outside Argentina, on Thursday, September 24, against Independiente de Medellín;
on Tuesday 29 he receives Libertad and closes his participation in the group at the Bombonera in front of Caracas, on October 22.
