Russo makes changes at Boca: sidelines Palacios and builds a team with changes and comebacks

The coach left the Chilean out due to injury or possible indiscipline and tested a starting eleven with Paredes and Cavani from the start

The latest practice by Boca left several strong signals from Miguel Ángel Russo. The coach decided to leave Carlos Palacios out of the match against Atlético Tucumán, who had started in the last match against Unión. Although it was reported that the Chilean is suffering from tendinitis in his knee, the possibility of an act of indiscipline also emerged, ahead of his 25th birthday. The fact is that he was not part of Monday's training session and is not included in the squad list for the round of 32 of the Copa Argentina.
