After the painful defeat in the Libertadores final against Fluminense, Xeneize returns to the local competition with an interim coach and little to play.
The illusion of the seventh Libertadores Cup ended in the worst way for Mouth, who could not beat Fluminense and lost the final after extra time. The defeat also caused the resignation of Jorge Almirón to technical management and so on Mariano Herron will be in charge of the team for the remainder of 2023.
WHAT BOCA SHOULD CLASSIFY FOR THE 2024 LIBERTADORES CUP
Although he is practically out of contention for a place in the playoffs Professional League Cupas it is seven behind Racing and with six teams in the middle, it still has an open door to fight for a place in the Copa Libertadores 2024 through the annual table, although the weapons are aimed at the Argentine Cup.
For the time being, their first bet after the Maracaná is nothing less than the always hot match against San Lorenzo in the Nuevo Gasómetro, to be played on Wednesday, November 8 from 7 p.m..
BOCA CALLS
The Xeneize returned from Rio de Janeiro and, after a Sunday rest before the voyage, resumed operations on Monday afternoon under the command of Mariano Herron, who had referenced the reservation hours earlier. Logically, the movements were regenerative and although it was expected to wait until Tuesday to draw up the list of those named, it arrived on Monday evening.
The expected absence is that of Frank Fabra, who complains of knee problems, but contributes to the bad emotional moment due to the expulsion that gave Boca 10 at the end of the first extra time. But Marcos Rojo (muscle injury), Equi Fernández (calf pain) were also not called up and Anselmino, Saralegui and, remarkably enough, Vicente Taborda were also dropped.

THE FORMATION OF THE MOUTH
Herrón has only 24 hours to decide whether to keep the majority of those who played in the final or decide to return to the substitute, a mystery that could be solved after training on Tuesday, apart from the forced departure of Frank Fabra and Equi Fernández. for which there will be at least two variants.
