Fernando Muslera out with fever as Estudiantes face Boca Juniors

Estudiantes de La Plata goalkeeper Fernando Muslera left the team’s concentration after developing a strong fever and will not travel for the upcoming match against Boca Juniors.

The match, originally slated for La Bombonera, will be played at the Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó while the Boca stadium undergoes renovations. Estudiantes arrive after a 3‑0 victory over Defensa y Justicia and have a busy schedule ahead, including a derby with Gimnasia and a Libertadores round‑of‑16 tie versus Universidad Católica.
