Boca to rotate heavily before San Pablo cup rematch

Boca face Central Córdoba in the Clausura on Friday, but with the Copa Sudamericana quarter-final second leg against San Pablo looming, coach Arruabarrena is set to rest most regular starters. Tomás Belmonte is the only likely survivor from the side that beat San Pablo 1-0.

What it means

• Only Belmonte expected to keep his place from the San Pablo win; Gorosito, Satas, Figal and Pellegrino come into the defence.
• Goalkeeper Álvaro Montero is unavailable after travelling to Colombia for personal reasons; Camilo Rey Domenech is out with an adductor injury.
• Milton Giménez returns to the 24-man squad, with youngsters Lautaro Mendieta and Rodrigo Bacidalupe called up.

Model read

Boca field a heavily rotated, notably weakened XI at La Bombonera, handing Central Córdoba a real chance to spring a surprise even though the hosts still need points for the play-off race.
