Boca's day started with the sad news of the death of Don Segundo Tevez.

And, after releasing Carlitos, who traveled by car from Rosario to Buenos Aires together with Raúl Cascini and Marcelo Alejandro Delgado, Miguel Angel Russo had to redefine the starting eleven. 

The replacement for the Apache will be none other than Eduardo Salvio.

But the biggest novelty has to do with the right back: after so much arguing about whether Jara or Buffarini would play, the coach played it and was surprised: Nicolás Capaldo will play number 4. But there are more surprises: in the middle, the kid Nicolás Medina (enters through Varela) will accompany Jorman Campuzano in the middle.

Above, Russo seems to want to secure Mauro Zárate who will have his second consecutive chance as a starter after the debut in which Boca drew with Gimnasia in the Bombonera.

His attack partner will be Villa.

The eleven of Boca: Esteban Andrada;

Nicolás Capaldo, Carlos Zambrano, Carlos Izquierdoz and Frank Fabra;

Cristian Medina, Jorman Campuzano and Edwin Cardona;

Eduardo Salvio;

Sebastián Villa and Mauro Zárate.

DT: Miguel Ángel Russo.

While the Rosario also arrive without winning on this second date of the League Cup, although in their debut they fell 1-0 in Liniers with Vélez.

The formation of Newell´s´s: Alan Aguerre;

Facundo Nadalín, Manuel Capasso, Yonathan Cabral and Mariano Bíttolo;

Braian Rivero, Julián Fernández, Jerónimo Cacciabue and Mauro Formica;

Enzo Cabrera and Ignacio Scocco.

DT: Frank Kudelka

Boca plays with Newell's Old Boys de Rosario from 9.30 pm at Coloso Marcelo Bielsa.
