The Bolivian soccer club Bolivar held its last training session Tuesday before the Copa Libertadores match against Mexicon champions Leon, to be played Wednesday in Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz.

Midfielders Walter Flores and Rudy Cardozo as well as forward Juan Carlos Arce are the changes made by coach Vladimir Soria for the game against Leon, reported Xinhua.

Flores and Cardozo recovered from the match against Ecuador's Emelec in Guayaquil last Thursday, who defeated Bolivar 2-1.

Meanwhile, Arce returns after a long recovery from an injury.

With these changes, it is almost a fact that Soria will repeat the same lineup that the one against Emelec, except for Arce.

 

The lineup includes Romel Quinonez as goalkeeper, defenders Edemir Rodriguez, Nelson Cabrera and Luis Gutierrez, midfielders Gerardo Yecerotte, Rudy Cardozo, Damir Miranda, Walter Flores and Juan Miguel Callejon, and forwards Arce and William Ferreira.

The Mexican team arrived Monday night in Santa Cruz (east). On Wednesday they will travel to La Paz.
