The massive case of 18 players infected with coronavirus in Boca Juniors, is a major concern for coach Miguel Ángel Russo. And it is that the ‘Xeneize’ will return to football activity on September 17 against Libertad, from Paraguay, for the third date of the Copa Libertadores. Just three days after 14 of those players finish the mandatory quarantine.

The aggravating factor is that only Jorman Campuzano is the only one of the usual headlines who tested negative, which is why Russo would be forced to put an eleven made up mostly of footballers who did not enjoy many minutes in the last tournament under his baton. The problem is that it would not only be for that match against Libertad, but also for the one they will face six days later against Independiente Medellín.
According to the Argentine newspaper ‘Olé’, the goalkeeper position is the most affected of all given that the four goalkeepers tested positive for the virus, so Russo will have to resort to the 19-year-old Andrés Lastra. In defense, the only men of experience on the baseline would be the Peruvian Carlos Zambrano and the left back Emmanuel Mas, the latter would take the place of Frank Fabra, one of the positive cases. They would be joined by the right back Marcelo Weigandt and Gastón Ávila, an 18-year-old defender.

The double five would be armed by another two of experience and that without problems could compose the titular pair of Boca: Iván Marcone and Campuzano. The problem would be the two open flyers, since the trainer would only have three juveniles available and a few minutes in his era: Nicolás Capaldo, Agustín Obando or Agustín Almendra.
Apart from Jorman, the other usual starter who would be available from ‘let’s go’ and in full conditions for the duels against Libertad and Medellín, would be captain Carlos Tevez, who given the shortage of forwards, would have to take on these games as the ‘ 9 ‘from the area, being backed by Edwin Cardona, who even though he has not even joined Boca’s training sessions, would have the chance to be a first baseman out of necessity.

Thus the things, the titular formation that Miguel Ángel Russo would have for those first two commitments according to ‘Olé’, would be Lastra; Weigandt, Avila, Zambrano, Mas; Capaldo, Marcone, Campuzano, Obando; Tevez and Cardona. The Argentine newspaper also emphasizes that although Sebastián Villa is not infected, he will not be taken into account by Boca Juniors until the complaint of gender violence against him is resolved.
