Claudio Ubeda has announced the Boca Juniors starting XI for their upcoming match against Platense. The lineup features significant changes, including the return of Lucas Janson, who has recovered from a muscle injury. He will take a position in the attacking trio alongside Miguel Merentiel and Ángel Romero.
Boca Juniors’ Tactical Adjustments
Lucas Janson initially played as a striker in his only game earlier this year due to a shortage of fit forwards. However, Ubeda’s strategy has shifted, allowing Janson to play in a more suitable role. This will enable him to exploit spaces on the wing and contribute to the team’s attacking dynamics.
Leandro Paredes Returns to Midfield
Another significant change in Boca’s lineup is the reintroduction of Leandro Paredes to the midfield area. Previously positioned closer to the attack, Paredes struggled to integrate into the team’s play. Ubeda has opted to return him to his natural role in the central midfield.
- Lucas Janson joins the starting lineup after recovery.
- Leandro Paredes reverts to central midfield.
- Williams Alarcón replaces Boca Predio’s young talent.
- Ángel Romero takes the place of Kevin Zenón in attack.
- Edinson Cavani is again available for selection.
