Fabra’s suspension was announced for the red card in the Libertadores final against Fluminense

This Monday the list of Boca’s camps to play against Nacional at the 4,000 meters of Potosí was published. Frank Fabra was left out of those mentioned. Surprise? No, since the Colombian was provisionally suspended for the red in the Libertadores final. But something was missing: how many games he would lose in this South American. And, as Olé advanced, The Conmebol Disciplinary Unit ended up making a two-date suspension official.

As you may remember, Fabra saw a straight red card against Fluminense, at the end of the first extra time. That situation, a slap to Nino, captain of the Flu, meant that Boca lost the extra man they had in the final (just before they had thrown Kennedy out) at a key moment, because 11 against 10 they were looking for a tie with several minutes in front. Furthermore, it was an attitude that ended up breaking his bond with the people, who still resist him today and even whistle at him when it is his turn to enter.

Well then, By regulation, since it was a direct red, that suspension of the Libertadores was transferred to the Sudamericana, which is ultimately another Conmebol tournament.. Fabra will not only miss Wednesday’s game in Bolivia, but he will also not be able to play against Sportivo Trinidense on Tuesday, April 9 at Bombonera.

Martínez tested in training this Monday in Ezeiza, with Javier García; Di Lollo, Anselmino, Valentini, Saracchi; Campuzano, Mauricio Benítez, Juan Ramírez; Vicente Taborda; Norberto Briasco and Benedetto.

There were already some indications of what Boca’s list of concentrates could be for traveling to Bolivia. Because Edinson Cavani did not train this Sunday nor did Marcos Rojo; for Blondel’s injury, for Luis Advíncula’s fever and even for the two teams that Diego Martínez tried out in Ezeiza to debut in the Copa Sudamericana. And the publication of the players who make up the delegation only confirmed what was already assumed.

The usual starters stay for the most part, with the exception of Leandro Brey and Lautaro Blanco who will get on the plane this Tuesday heading to Sucre.

The rest of those who make up the list are substitutes, including many of those who added very few minutes during the year and the majority are youth players of the club. In fact, already on the official Sudamericana list that Boca presented to Conmebol there are 13 boys from the quarry who are present and who did not even debut in First Division.

Clearly, a debut that does not sit well with Boca. Much less to Diego Martínez, who this week will have to face a chaotic trip to Potosí and who, upon returning, will also have to prepare immediately for the match with Newell’s in Rosario on Saturday, where a good part of the classification for the Cup playoffs will be played. of the league. There is also, without a doubt, another of the explanations why the list of concentrates for the premiere of the Cup is alternative.

There are no more than 22 players that Martínez takes to Bolivia. Among them, three archers.
