Xeneize makes his debut as a visitor in Group F of the continental tournament, still with interim DT on the substitution bench.
It’s time for Boca’s debut in the Copa Libertadores 2023. Despite the fact that Xeneize gives the illusion of reaching the long-awaited seventh, the premiere in the continental competition this time takes place at a moment of uncertainty: after the dismissal of Hugo Na the refusal of Ibarra and Gerardo Martino to succeed him, the Ribera club started its international journey with interim DT.
The Boca group in the Copa Libertadores 2023: teams, calendar and positions
Placed in Group F, Boca will play its first game of the tournament as a visitor in Venezuela against Monagas, who reached the cup as runners-up for his country. The match will be played on Thursday, April 6 from 9 p.m. (Argentine time) at the Monumental stadium in Maturín.
THE CLAMS OF BOCA AGAINST MONAGAS
For what will surely be his last game in charge of the team, Mariano Herrón must deliver the list for the entire group stage in good faith. And while we wait for the payroll to become official, DT is waiting for the recovery of the two footballers who were eventually hit in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Barracas Central, ahead of the Professional League Tournament: Luca Langoniwho had to leave at half-time due to a knee problem, and Pol Fernandezwhich entails muscle discomfort.
The medical staff is basically optimistic that both will be able to travel, but they will be monitored on a day-to-day basis.
THE TRAINING OF MOUTH AGAINST MONAGAS
The interim coach was more than satisfied with the team’s collective performance in the weekend’s victory over Guapo, so if Langoni and Pol recover in time, there is a good chance that Xeneize will repeat the team in Maturin on Thursday.
The probable? Sergio Romero, Nicolás Figal, Facundo Roncaglia, Bruno Valdez, Frank Fabra; Pol Fernandez, Alan Varela, Juan Ramirez; Luca Langoni, Dario Benedetto, Sebastian Villa.
