Boca Juniors officially confirmed the new injury of Cristian Lema, who has been suffering from physical problems for a while now.
He now suffered a tear in the left rectus, in yesterday's practice, possibly due to the lack of activity.

The defender has not played in this 2025, and in all of Fernando Gago's tenure as Boca's coach, he played only one game (against Deportivo Riestra, in October of last year).
During the week, it was reported that, finally, Lema would be available again after overcoming the ankle injury that had been affecting him since last season, but a tear leaves him out again, thinking about Sunday's game against Defensa y Justicia.
Also, Camilo Rey Domenech, the youth player who had started to establish himself in the midfield at the beginning of the season, is out again due to injury.
The 18-year-old midfielder debuted with the Boca jersey in the Copa Argentina against Argentino de Monte Maíz and played a few games as a starter in the Apertura.
Now, "presents a pneumomediastinum in treatment since March 7, is in good evolution with indication of sports rest" according to the official statement.
The medical report does not mention Ander Herrera, but press versions indicate that the Spaniard is already ruled out for the match against the Halcón de Varela, due to a problem in the ischiotibial.
One more concern for Gago, since Ander Herrera has been one of the most regular this season.
On the other hand, it is worth noting that Kevin Zenón, who was also in doubt due to some discomfort, has already worked with the team and will surely be a starter on Sunday.
