COLO COLO'S LINE-UP IS READY
This is the roster that Colo Colo is sending to the Bombonera to try to get the win against Boca Juniors on matchday 5 of the group stage.
THE NEW AND THE OLD PLAYERS OF BOCA
On the other hand, the studies carried out on Nicolás Figal showed that he has a strong contracture. The good news is that it is not a muscular injury, but he is still in doubt for the match against the Colocolinos.
Valentín Barco is back after Argentina's elimination from the U-20 World Cup: although the idea is to bring him back gradually to get back into the rhythm of competition, Colo does not want to miss him. Finally, Marcos Rojo, who played 45 minutes in the reserve team against Arsenal, could be in the professional squad for the first time this year.
NO MORE SEBASTIÁN VILLA AT BOCA
After being sentenced to two years and one month in prison (conditional execution) for the crimes of minor injuries and threats against his ex-partner, Daniela Cortés, Sebastián Villa will not wear the Boca Juniors shirt again. This was decided by the Board of Directors after a day of meetings, in which Jorge Ameal and Juan Román Riquelme participated, which ended with the communication, by means of a written document, informing that the Colombian will not be considered again for the team's matches, although his contract will not be rescinded.
SIGNING FOR COLO COLO IS ON THE HORIZON
Alfredo Stöhwing assured that the negotiation with Óscar Opazo is well underway and Gustavo Quinteros acknowledged that the winger is one of his main options for the second half of the National Championship. At the same time, Fernando Gago left 'Torta' out of the call-up against Banfield and added to the uncertainty.
Due to the duel against Boca in the Copa Libertadores, Colo Colo's board of directors will also be in Buenos Aires this week. That instance could allow the negotiations between Blanco y Negro and Opazo to take a new step.
