The Xeneize has already qualified for the round of 16 of the Apertura and is solidified in the first position of Zone A. Next weekend they host Estudiantes, but the duel against River stands out as the most important upcoming match.
This Monday, news broke that Milton Giménez could be seriously in doubt for the match against River on April 27th.
Problems with the ankle for Boca's forward
The forward left the Belgrano field visibly in pain and the studies conducted this morning confirmed that he suffered a severe sprain in his right ankle. Ruled out for hosting Estudiantes next Saturday, the uncertainty lies in his presence in the most important match of this first phase of the tournament.

Giménez had earned his place after the harsh fall against Alianza Lima, which left the Xeneize without the Copa Libertadores or any other continental tournament in 2025. With a force of goals (four in the first three matches) he became Edinson Cavani's attacking partner, but his effectiveness dropped and the injury comes at his worst time.

Therefore, this situation will allow Fernando Gago to test Miguel Merentiel again, who had been pushing from the outside to return to the starting lineup. The Uruguayan will, almost certainly, start against Estudiantes and thus, has an advantage to stay in the team on the day of the superclásico.

The recovery times for Giménez are uncertain. After a few initial days of rest and rehabilitation, the ex-Banfield should be able to return to play in the short term, although for the match against River in less than two weeks he would just make it.

Journalist: Liverpool's ‘Third and Final' Bid for Florian Wirtz ‘to be Accepted'
Liverpool Close in on Florian Wirtz as Transfer Talks Reach Final Phase Liverpool appear to be on the brink of landing one of Europe's most exciting young talents. Florian Wirtz, the creative force behind Bayer Leverkusen's Bundesliga-winning season, is edging closer to Anfield after what appears to be an intense period of negotiations. David Lynch, speaking to Dave Davis on Anfield Index's Media Matters podcast, offered a confident and detailed insight into where the deal currently stands. Advertisement The Reds have reportedly submitted a third bid in the region of £113 million, a figure which Lynch claims could potentially become an English transfer record. Despite earlier bids being rejected, the mood remains overwhelmingly positive within the club's hierarchy. 'I'd be amazed if Florian Wirtz doesn't become a Liverpool player,' Lynch stated. 'And it could even be an English transfer record.' Confidence Grows as Final Details Take Shape Much has been made in the media about the urgency or perceived delays surrounding the Wirtz transfer, but Lynch was quick to allay any fears that the deal is stalling. Advertisement 'I can't get my head around the panic over this deal,' he said. 'It's progressing at decent speed for a deal at this price.' He clarified that the hold-up is down to minor details being ironed out, something not unusual at this level of investment. With the window about to open and personal terms expected to be a formality, Liverpool's meticulous approach should soon be rewarded. 'There's huge confidence on both sides that this will be done and the next bid will be accepted.' The feeling from Lynch is that Liverpool know precisely what figure will seal the deal, and the final offer is expected to meet that threshold. Advertisement 'I would be shocked if this third and final bid isn't accepted because Liverpool know exactly where they need to place it for it to be accepted.' Timing is Key as Medical Plans Set Despite external noise about deadlines and registration, Lynch played down any suggestion that Liverpool are working under pressure. In fact, he hinted that the club have a clearly defined schedule that includes a planned medical later this week. 'We've spoke about that first deadline being tomorrow but that doesn't matter to Liverpool,' he said. 'They don't need to get it done before that.' 'They can have him complete his medical on Wednesday and then as soon as the window opens again, he will sign for Liverpool.' Advertisement The timing of the announcement could be carefully staged to maximise visibility, particularly following Liverpool's title-winning campaign under Arne Slot. The club is in a strong position, and the capture of Wirtz would be a statement of intent that the new era at Anfield is not just about transition, but domination. Slot's System Could Be Perfect for Wirtz From a tactical perspective, Wirtz fits the mould of a modern Liverpool signing. His ability to play between the lines, create, press, and contribute goals makes him an ideal candidate to operate in Arne Slot's aggressive and fluid system. Having already lifted the Premier League trophy in his debut season, Slot appears to be building on success with the sort of elite talent that can extend Liverpool's dominance. Wirtz's potential arrival shows that the club are not resting on their laurels, and are willing to invest heavily in youth with world-class potential. If the deal is finalised in the coming days, as expected, Liverpool fans can look forward to a frontline enriched by one of Europe's brightest attacking midfielders.

Al Hilal put this Man United star in their transfer list following Osimhen's rejection
Al Hilal is reportedly searching for a new forward who can help them win more trophies next season. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on June 9, 2025, 18:53 IST Al Hilal is reportedly searching for a new forward who can help them win more trophies next season. Saudi club tried to sign Victor Osimhen but the player rejected the offer and the deal collapsed. However, as per multiple reports, Al Hilal is trying to sign Manchester United's Jadon Sancho who was on loan at Chelsea last season and doesn't want to play for the Red Devils anymore. It is just the initial interest and nothing has been concrete yet. Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal are reportedly in the market for a new forward as they look to bolster their attack ahead of the new season. The club, which has enjoyed domestic and continental success in recent years, is aiming to strengthen its squad further to maintain their dominance. Al Hilal recently attempted to lure Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli, but the deal collapsed after the player turned down their offer. The setback hasn't deterred the Riyadh-based club, as fresh reports suggest they have now turned their attention to Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho. Sancho, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Chelsea, is believed to be reluctant to return to Old Trafford following his fallout with manager Erik ten Hag. While Al Hilal's interest is still at an early stage, sources close to the situation claim the Saudi side is monitoring the English forward's availability closely.
