Marcelo Gallardo will have at his disposal, after a while, important players for the team. 📸 Daniel Jayo - 2025 Getty Images Sebastián Driussi, Lucas Martínez Quarta and Matías Rojas, if nothing unusual happens, will be available again for the match against Central. The first two, who have already completed the expected recovery time from their respective tears, have a chance to get into the starting eleven, although due to the lack of activity, Muñeco may decide to preserve them, thinking about Wednesday's Copa Libertadores match. Paraguayan Rojas, who had come in as a substitute and is still looking for his place in a very crowded position, also overcame his tear and will surely be an option from the bench. Another one preparing to return is Giuliano Galoppo. The former São Paulo midfielder started the season as a fixed starter, but after the victory against Lanús at the Monumental, he suffered a strain that has kept him out for 36 days already. 📸 Rodrigo Valle - 2025 Getty Images

Williams Alarcón underwent surgery, how long will he be out at Boca? 🏥
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Williams Alarcón's injury marred what would have been a perfect night for Boca Juniors at La Chilean midfielder left the field in tears in the first half against Defensa y Justicia, which was later confirmed to be a ligament rupture in his right knee. This Monday, the former Huracán player underwent surgery, and the time he will have to wait to return to the field was confirmed. 📸 ALEJANDRO PAGNI - AFP or licensors The 24-year-old midfielder will be out until at least mid-May, which means he will miss the rest of the Apertura Tournament, which Boca closes on May 4 against Tigre (current runner-up to Xeneize in Zone B, and potential leader if they beat Central Córdoba in Victoria this afternoon). Alarcón started against Defensa y Justicia, playing in place of the Basque Ander Herrera, who was left out of the team due to a muscle injury. The Chilean has been an important piece for Fernando Gago and had played in all the matches of the season, with the only exception of the match against Aldosivi, where he was on the bench. The injury unfortunately puts the brakes on the good start Alarcón had since his arrival at Boca, and leaves Gago without an important piece, at a time when the team is on the rise. Meanwhile, Xeneize leaves behind the temporary setback caused by the elimination from the Copa Libertadores 2025, the team is starting to find itself and consolidate, and with six consecutive victories in the local tournament, it firmly plants its flag to fight for the title. 📸 Marcelo Endelli - 2025 Getty Images

The local fans of Ferroviario will fill the rest of the stadium to cheer on a team that has turned this venue into a truly impregnable stronghold. The team led by Omar de Felippe has not lost or conceded goals while playing at home in the tournament so far. But now they receive a wounded Boca, which is going through critical hours. Eliminated from the Copa Libertadores 2025, and with no more competition than the local tournament until June (when the 2025 Club World Cup begins), Fernando Gago's team will arrive in Santiago del Estero with the mission of showcasing its title contender badge, and imposing itself through play and attitude, great debts pending so far.

This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. With the tranquility of having returned to victory in the local tournament, with a costly win against Banfield in the South, Boca Juniors is already preparing for their important duel in the preliminary phase of Copa Libertadores 2025, against Alianza Lima in coach Fernando Gago will have to, once again, solve the problem of some important absences. Two of the team's references, such as Marcos Rojo and Edinson Cavani, will not be traveling to Lima due to injury. Neither will Luis Advíncula, who is suspended. The squad leaves this Sunday for Peru. A lo Boca se vive mejor 💙💛💙 — Boca Juniors (@BocaJrsOficial) February 15, 2025 Everything indicates that in his visit to Alianza Lima, Gago may return to fielding a team with three center-backs in the back. Lautaro Di Lollo —author of the winning goal against Taladro—, Ayrton Costa —expelled in Florencio Sola— and Rodrigo Battaglia would form the three-man line, in front of goalkeeper Agustín Marchesín. Although Frank Fabra returns to Boca's official call-up for the Libertadores, the left-back position would be occupied by Marcelo Saracchi, who is consolidating his position, while Juan Barinaga would play on the right, after a good performance in La Bombonera against Independiente Rivadavia. As mentioned, Advíncula is suspended, while Lucas Blondel is still lacking in football, according to the coach's consideration. ¡Así se grita un primer gol en primera, Lauty! 🤩💙💛💙 — Boca Juniors (@BocaJrsOficial) February 15, 2025 Camilo Rey Domenech and Williams Alarcón would occupy the midfield, while Gago's doubts at this time remain in the attack. In the front three, Carlos Palacios and Miguel Merentiel would likely start, but Alan Velasco, Exequiel Zeballos, and Milton Giménez are competing for a spot in the starting eleven. Boca faces Alianza Lima this Tuesday to seek a place in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores 2025. The rematch, at La Bombonera, will be the following Tuesday. If they advance, Gago's team will still have another preliminary instance before the group stage, where they will face the winner between Deportes Iquique and Independiente Santa Fe. 📸 Marcelo Endelli - 2025 Getty Images
