La Bicolor add a new injured player ahead of tomorrow’s friendly against La Bicolor South Korea. And it is that international defender Carlos Zambrano cannot be considered by Juan Reynoso due to a suspension in Busan.
The player we remember being sent off in the last friendly against Morocco has to meet the ban date so he won’t play against the Korean team in the first game of the Asian tour. Therefore, Juan Reynoso will have to rely on another defender for this game. The candidates include Luis Abram, Alexander Callens, Miguel Araujo and Anderson Santamaría to form the defensive duo against Korea.

It should be noted that the international strategist can’t count on Gianluca Lapadula either, who will only join Bicolor on Saturday after managing promotion to Serie A with him Cagliari the last weekend. Luis Advíncula and Andy Polo were also canceled.

The red and white elf
The absence of the Bambino presented a big question mark for both Juan Reynoso and his technical command and the fans, and that means defining who will be the ‘9’ for the first game. Paolo Guerrero or Alex Valera?
On the one hand it is predatorwho is returning to the Peru team after 20 months of work because his last game with the Bicolor was on day 11 of the last qualifying round, against Chile when Ricardo Gareca was still in charge.
The forward’s season is better than the last as he filmed with his club Racing. Although not a starter, he surprised by starting seven times this year. He scored two goals with the Argentine team and little by little he showed that he is still valid. Additionally, his leadership and the global respect he has earned internally and externally could be crucial for Juan Reynoso to use against South Korea.

The court will be contested with Alex Valera, the Universitario player, who could also be the Peru team’s ‘9’ against the Asian team as he has scored 11 goals over the year and even scored hat-tricks in two games with the cream shirt.
Valegol is one of the players recently added to the squad Perubut he managed to take advantage, leaving behind elements like Santiago Ormeño and Raúl Ruidíaz who weren’t called up.
I knew that . . .
Everything prepared. The Peruvian team ended their training sessions in the city of Seoul with an intensive training session at Goyang Stadium and traveled to Busan, where they will play South Korea tomorrow.
