Boca has no respite in this Torneo Clausura. After the draw against Rosario Central, Miguel Ángel Russo's team received bad news: Edinson Cavani has been injured again and will be out for the upcoming matches.
"The player Edinson Cavani has a strain in his right psoas," the club's official medical report stated. Recovery will take at least 15 days, which rules him out of the match against Central Córdoba and also against Defensa y Justicia.

The coach's intention was to repeat the starting eleven that had just drawn, with the only change being Agustín Marchesín for Leandro Brey in goal. However, the Uruguayan's injury forces a change in the attack.
Everything indicates that Milton Giménez will be chosen to partner with Miguel Merentiel in the attack, taking the place left vacant by Cavani.

Currently, concern at Boca is not only about these immediate absences, but also about the recurrence of injuries in the 37-year-old forward, who still hasn't managed to achieve full continuity since his arrival at the club.
When Boca will play again
Xeneize will host Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero at La Bombonera this Sunday the 21st at 9:15 p.m. for matchday 9 of the Clausura. This match is crucial for the Ribera club in its fight for the top ofZone A (3rd with 13 points) and the Annual Table (2nd with 46 points, tied with Rosario Central but with a better goal difference) for the qualification spots for the next Copa Libertadores.
