The Uruguayan National Team fell at home in the Estadio Centenario against Argentina, and things seem complicated within the squad managed by Marcelo Bielsa.

Beyond some rumors that emerged after the defeat, which referred to alleged discussions between players and the coach, the truth is that the Argentine coach made a surprising decision: three players were removed from the Uruguayan National Team for the game against Bolivia in El Alto.

Marcelo Saracchi returns to training with Boca Juniors

The left-back of the Xeneize was one of those removed from the list of players published by the Uruguayan National Team for the clash against Bolivia.

Also removed were the two from Flamengo, Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Nicolás De La Cruz. The former was a starter against Argentina at the Centenario, but Bielsa replaced him before halftime, putting in his teammate. Now both are left out.

For Boca's coach, Fernando Gago, Saracchi's return to the group is good news.

Although in recent matches Lautaro Blanco seems to have definitively secured the starting position at left-back, Saracchi had started the season as a starter and in good form, even wearing the captain's armband.

He is a substitute option that Gago now has available again.

Boca Juniors returned to training this Monday, after having the weekend off.

The Xeneize begins the week focusing on the clash against Newell's Old Boys, which will take place next Sunday at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa in Rosario.

Fernando Gago's team will seek their seventh consecutive victory in the Apertura in the upcoming match.
