Boca, which still does not have the 11 confirmed, will play this Friday at 9:30 p.m. against Unión for the fifth date of the Professional League and the only holder of the regulars will be Frank Fabra. Why? Because the focus is on the dream of Boca fans: the Copa Libertadoresand so, The DT showed alternative teams in the last soccer practices to give rest to those who will be on the field on Tuesday against Corinthians.
And why will Fabra play? The 31-year-old winger will start because was suspended one date in the Cup, for having reached the three yellow cards and then he will be in the Bombonera to play a new date in the Professional League.

The other novelty is also the return of Eduardo Salvio, who has a contract until June 30 and who has recovered from his grade 1 muscle injury in the biceps femoris. Jorman Campuzano will also have the opportunity to appear before the appearance of Alan Varela and He will play his first game of the semester.
With the intention of preserving the usual starters for the confrontation on Tuesday 28 against Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil, for the first leg of the Libertadores round of 16, Boca’s DT thought of an alternative line-up to face Union with the return of Toto Salvio and Jorman Campuzano.

Both on Tuesday and this Wednesday, Battaglia was testing with a very alternative formation. The last team he planted was with Javier García; Marcelo Weigandt, Nicolás Figal, Carlos Zambrano, Frank Fabra; Cristian Medina, Jorman Campuzano, Aaron Molinas; Eduardo Salvio, Luis Vázquez and Luca Langoni. The only difference from Tuesday’s practice was that Sandez was there instead of Fabra.
