Cavani and Romero Prepare for The Boca-Trinidense Match in The Sudamericana
With forward Edinson Cavani and goalkeeper Sergio Romero recovered from their respective injuries, Argentine side Boca Juniors will host Paraguayan club Sportivo Trinidense in an unprecedented match in international tournaments and amid a crucial week for the 'Xeneize'.
Diego Martínez's team, which drew in their debut in Group D of the Copa Sudamericana against Nacional Potosí (0-0), aims to find the path to victory this week in the continental tournament and is immersed in the fight for the local League Cup.
Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani, who suffered a hamstring strain in his left leg against San Lorenzo, missed the Sudamericana debut and also this weekend against Newell's, but has already begun training with the group, so the coach could count on him.
In Romero's case, he could return after recovering from inflammation in the Achilles tendon of his left foot, although, in anticipation of upcoming commitments, his participation is unlikely.
Boca Juniors' medical staff, who already have the sensitive absence of Lucas Blondel, who will undergo surgery this Monday for his ligament rupture, are keeping an eye on Marcos Rojo, Cristian Medina, and Lautaro Blanco, who are 'nursing' injuries after the match in Rosario.
Sportivo Trinidense's squad, last in Group D after losing at home to Brazilian side Fortaleza (0-2), traveled to Buenos Aires this Sunday after losing at home to Cerro Porteño on the twelfth matchday of the Paraguayan First Division, where they occupy the penultimate position.
'El Triki', a neighborhood team, makes its international debut and reaches the Sudamericana after being eliminated in the third round of the preliminary phase of the Libertadores against Chilean side Colo Colo. Now they try to cause an upset against a team that has won the Libertadores six times and the Sudamericana twice.
