Boca Juniors
will visit Tigre in Victoria next Monday and it was learned that
Edinson Cavani
will not be able to help Xeneize achieve its first victory in the
Professional League Cup.
The thing is that
the list of concentrates was announced and the Uruguayan is not there,
who has just had a forgettable afternoon against Sarmiento.
Added to the five clear scoring chances that he wasted to finish the match against Verde de Junín, the Uruguayan striker also had to ask for a change at 28 minutes of the second half due to discomfort in the back of his left leg and that ailment He took out the match against Matador.
In the middle of the week it had been confirmed that he had no injury and that it was just a contracture, but
Diego Martínez
also agreed with the player that he should not be part of the training camp and take the time necessary to return to 100% physically, especially taking into account which is the same area of his leg that he injured in November.
In any case,
it is expected that he will be able to add minutes again next Saturday at home against Defensa y Justicia.
Last Thursday at the Nuevo Gasómetro was his first game as a starter since November 12 against Newell's, when he tore the rectus femoris in his left leg.
It was more serious than expected and prevented him from starting the preseason normally.
They had taken him little by little so that he would not suffer, but now he is suffering again with his physique.

In this way,
Darío Benedetto,
who replaced him in the last game, takes the lead to accompany Miguel Merentiel in the attack against Tigre.
The other novelty on Diego Martínez's squad list is the first appearance of
Lautaro Blanco
, the left back with spells at Elche and Rosario Central, who became Boca's latest reinforcement in the transfer market.
His possible place on the court is in the number 3 zone, a controversial position in Xeneize after the questions about
Frank Fabra
and an injury that
Marcelo Saracchi
is suffering from .
The Matador of Victoria is going through a present similar to that of Boca: it has not won so far in the championship but has just suffered a tough 0-3 against Racing in Avellaneda and is seeking to right the course.
