Boca Juniors manages recovery for Bareiro and Valencia

Boca Juniors is managing the fitness and recovery of two key attacking players. Paraguayan forward Adam Bareiro has begun light field work following a lumbar disc herniation. After undergoing a block to treat the injury, Bareiro is showing positive signs, though the club is avoiding setting a specific return date to prevent relapse. He has been sidelined since May due to a combination of muscular injuries and the spinal issue.

Meanwhile, Ecuadorian striker Enner Valencia remains out of the squad as coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena prioritizes his physical conditioning. Valencia has not yet made his debut due to a lack of recent competitive rhythm. His potential debut is anticipated for August 18 during a Copa Sudamericana match against Recoleta in Paraguay.
