The first-leg of the historic Copa Libertadores Superclasico final will be played this Saturday, November 10, 2018. Many measures regarding everything as far as security and fair-play are being handled in the days leading up to the final.
Nothing must go wrong in an event that can potentially cause controversy and even tragedy in Buenos Aires. CONMEBOL is taking precise steps to ensure that everything runs smoothly and in its latest effort has asked national teams to not callup any Boca Juniors or River Plate players in the next international break.
Both teams have some very notable players and some potential players that could have received callups for Boca Juniors include Cristian Pavon, Nahitan Nandez, Wilmar Barrios and Frank Fabra among others. For River Plate, the potential players that would have served in this international break include Franco Armani, Exequiel Palacios and Gonzalo Martinez.
