Carlos Zambrano was included in the Boca Juniors call despite the scandal

The Boca Juniors squad continues to work to close the season in the best way, although the week has not been quiet: a scandal arose around the indiscipline of Carlos Zambrano, Edwin Cardona and Sebastián Villa. However, despite the news, for now the athletes will continue to be active at the club.

Through the official channels of ‘Xeneize’, the list of players who will be considered by coach Sebastián Battaglia for the match against Arsenal de Sarandí was announced. The players involved in the controversial case of insubordination to the rules were included in the payroll, to the surprise of the fans.

At first, Boca Juniors deleted the publication, which seemed to give rise to a correction, but finally the list of concentrates was confirmed. In this way, Carlos Zambrano, Edwin Cardona and Sebastián Villa will be waiting to be able to play, even as starters, if the DT requires it.

Let us remember that last date, in the duel against Newell’s, only the two Colombians were active, both entering from the substitutes’ bench. For his part, the Peruvian defender only had to settle for staying as a reservist, as happened in the last three dates of the Argentine tournament.

It is worth mentioning that Boca Juniors is obliged to win to maintain options to qualify for the Copa Libertadores through the accumulated table. Currently, those led by Sebastián Battaglia are in sixth place (a place in Sudamericana) and will only climb with a victory over Arsenal.

Carlos Zambrano without regularity in Boca

Since the start of the Argentine Professional League 2021, Carlos Zambrano has only added a total of four games, which reflects the low level he has had since his arrival. The last time he played with ‘Xeneize’ was on November 4, in the 1-0 victory for the Argentine Cup. In the league tournament, the defender’s last appearance was on October 30, against Gimnasia (1-0 win).
