The game is surely in serious doubt for tonight. We are 45 minutes from the scheduled kick-off and we haven't had any teams named, warm ups or any official confirmation of how many Boca players have been taken ill.
There are somewhere near 60,000 River Plate fans inside El Monumental, however, who would not be happy were the game postponed to a later date.
River Plate vs Boca Juniors kicks off at 8:00pm (GMT) on Saturday 24 November.
Where can I watch it?
River Plate vs Boca Juniors will be shown live on BT Sport 2 from 7:45pm (GMT).
BT Sport subscribers can stream the game live via the BT Sport app.
The match is also being aired on FreeSports.
Player to watch…
Lucas Pratto: The 30-year-old striker was River’s best player in the first leg, scoring their first goal and contributing to the own goal which means the sides head into Saturday’s finale level. The Argentine, who has five caps for his country, has scored four goals in 13 appearances in this year’s competition, and his partnership up front with Rafael Santos Borre could well be decisive in Buenos Aires.
