After his absence from a training session, Fernando Gago decided to exclude the Chilean striker from the roster traveling to Rosario to play in Matchday 11 of the 2025 Apertura Tournament.

Boca Juniors will face Newell's Old Boys this Sunday at the Estadio Coloso Marcelo Bielsa in Rosario, as part of the eleventh matchday of the 2025 Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF), with the notable absence of Chilean footballer Carlos Palacios, who was absent from the first training session of the week.

Fernando Gago made the decision to exclude Palacios from the roster after the player missed the first training session following the team's weekend break. Palacios' absence from the evening practice on Monday generated a lot of anger among the technical staff.

Carlos Palacios claimed he had been involved in a minor traffic accident on his way to Santiago de Chile's airport, prior to boarding a flight to Buenos Aires. Gago had him train separately on Tuesday, and from Wednesday on, he worked with the rest of the group. Nevertheless, he will not travel to Rosario with the team.
