For the first time in the Argentine Libertadores they will have all the players available to play, on the Timão side, the list of absences is long.
The day has come to find out who will advance to the quarterfinals of Libertadores 2022, in one of the most awaited duels of the tournament so far. At La Bombonera, Boca Jr. welcomes Corinthians at 9:30 pm (Brasília time). In the first game, the teams drew 0-0 and now any victory guarantees one of the teams to the next phase. Another tie takes the decision to penalties.
For this game, Sebastián Battaglia’s Boca Juniors will have the full team at their disposal, while Vítor Pereira’s Corinthians have seven absences and other doubts to start their starting lineup.
The Argentine coach, who was a four-time Libertadores champion as a player, will have all available players for the first time in the competition. After using an all-reserve team in the Argentine Championship, when they lost 3-0 to Banfield, Boca returns to Bombonera wanting to advance to the stage.
The same luck does not appear on the Timon side. Vítor Pereira has seven absences, in addition to doubts for this Tuesday’s game. Renato Augusto, Gustavo Silva, Júnior Moraes, Fagner and Adson did not travel to Argentina (for different reasons). William, with shoulder pain, must start on the bench. And Lucas Piton, for lack of options, can act as a winger on the left.
The positive news is the return of Du Queiroz, who, having recovered from a thigh contracture, should start. The problems on the right side, which also has Rafael Ramos with muscle discomfort, can be solved with Bruno Méndez acting in that role, switching the system to a 3-5-2.
Robert Renan, Matheus Araújo, Guilherme Biro, Giovane and Felipe Augusto are the faces of the base among those related to Timão. Will be options against Boca.
