Carlos Palacios Returns to Boca Juniors Training Ahead of O'Higgins Clash

Boca Juniors has received a significant boost with the return of Chilean midfielder Carlos Palacios to training. Palacios had been sidelined with a muscle injury sustained last week but has now recovered and is preparing for the team's Copa Sudamericana fixture against O'Higgins.

According to TyC Sports, coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena has welcomed back two key players. Palacios and Milton Giménez, who had suffered a groin tear, are both expected to be available for the match in Chile. This return strengthens the squad as they face their South American opponents.

Captain Leandro Paredes has also rejoined the team's practices after a period of rest. Paredes had taken time off following the World Cup final and missed the recent league match against Deportivo Riestra. Arruabarrena is reportedly considering fielding a lineup similar to the one that secured a narrow victory in their previous encounter in Buenos Aires.
