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.

Another factor supporting the version that points to an act of indiscipline is the absence of an official medical report. Beyond this, the expectation is that the forward could return for the match against Huracán at the Ducó, scheduled for Sunday the 27th.
Meanwhile, Russo surprised with a probable starting line-up full of new faces. The return of Leandro Paredes, who would play from the start for the first time since his return to the club, is one of the most notable news items. He would share the midfield with Williams Alarcón and Milton Delgado, who is also returning to the starting eleven.

In goal will be Leandro Brey, while the defense would feature Juan Barinaga, Mateo Mendía, Marco Pellegrino, and Lautaro Blanco. In attack, Edinson Cavani would reappear as a starter, replacing Miguel Merentiel, and the attacking trio is completed by Brian Aguirre and Alan Velasco.
The possible line-up to face Decano at the Estadio Madre de Ciudades is:
Goalkeeper: Leandro Brey
Defenders: Juan Barinaga, Mateo Mendía, Marco Pellegrino, and Lautaro Blanco
Midfielders: Williams Alarcón, Leandro Paredes, and Milton Delgado
Forwards: Brian Aguirre, Edinson Cavani, and Alan Velasco
On the other hand, Russo will not be able to count on Ayrton Costa, Nicolás Figal, or Milton Giménez, all out due to injury and with no chance of making it to Wednesday's match.
