Miguel Merentiel will remain with Boca Juniors after being left out of Uruguay's squad for the upcoming friendly matches. The striker had been included in the preliminary list of 46 players selected by coach Diego Forlán, but was not included in the final list. This news is a relief for Boca, who were concerned about losing Merentiel for their upcoming Copa Argentina quarterfinal match against Racing.
Merentiel has been in good form, scoring four goals in his last seven games, and has been a key player for Boca in their Copa Sudamericana campaign. He will now be available for the match against Racing, which will be a crucial test for the team.
