Overview
- Palacios was caught by a hard challenge from Federico Fattori and was substituted in the 73rd minute for Kevin Zenón after trying to continue.
- The Chilean delivered one of his better recent displays in Boca's 1-0 win over Argentinos Juniors at La Bombonera and struck the crossbar on a near miss for 2-0.
- Club doctors will evaluate the severity of the blow when the squad returns to training, leaving his semifinal status uncertain for now.
- A regular in the Clausura, Palacios has missed only four matches this season and recently noted a shift toward greater defensive duties that reduced his attacking chances.
- Boca have won six straight under Claudio Úbeda and are one victory from matching a seven-game run set in 2017 under Guillermo Barros Schelotto.
