Miguel Ángel Russo has called up 25 players for the championship debut, and there are several notable absences from the list.
Paredes, who was welcomed by 50,000 people at the stadium, will have to wait a little longer before wearing the blue and gold shirt again. The World Cup-winning midfielder has trained with his new teammates, but was left out of the squad.
Ander Herrera, Milton Giménez, and Ayrton Costa, who are not yet 100% fit, are also not on the list. Meanwhile, Carlos Palacios did not train due to a fever, but was ultimately included among the called-up players and may even start.
Cristian Lema, Marcos Rojo, Sergio 'Chiquito' Romero, Esteban Rolón, and Marcelo Saracchi are also missing, as the coaching staff are not counting on them and they could seek a move in this transfer window.

Exequiel Zeballos is not among those called up, despite having trained normally since returning from the Club World Cup; while Camilo Rey Domenech was also not called up and seems to have fallen out of Russo's plans.
Thus, the possible Boca Juniors starting eleven against Argentinos Juniors would be: Agustín Marchesin; Luis Advíncula, Nicolás Figal, Marco Pellegrino, and Lautaro Blanco; Kevin Zenón, Rodrigo Battaglia, Williams Alarcón, and Carlos Palacios or Malcom Braida; Alan Velasco and Miguel Merentiel.
