Lapadula has a new injury: he appeared with a special bandage on his hand before training | VIDEO

The Peruvian team is getting ready to face Paraguay at the end of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers, next Tuesday, March 29, and the squad will complete a new training day this Saturday. The team led by Ricardo Gareca left the team hotel facilities and headed for Videna, but there was concern about the condition of Gianluca Lapadula.

The ‘Bambino’ was on his way to the bus and it could be seen that his right hand had a special bandage, which even seemed to immobilize his fingers. The injury is evidenced only a few days after the match against Uruguay, where the attacker started and was up to 77 minutes (he was replaced by Alex Valera).

Apart from that detail, Gianluca Lapadula looked good and even took time to greet the fans present in the area, although using only his left arm, with which he carried his personal belongings. Everything indicates that he will not have problems to play the decisive match against Paraguay.

Due to the loss of André Carrillo, due to a sprain in his left knee, the ‘Blanquirroja’ attack will be led by the Italian-Peruvian striker and Christian Cueva. Throughout the qualifying process, the ‘Bambino’ scored two goals and provided two assists.

Let us remember that it is not the first time that Gianluca Lapadula has ended up in a game of the Peruvian national team, since he previously suffered from a broken nose (he did not play against Ecuador on the 16th Qualifiers due to this issue) and had a dental complication , after a blow to the mouth.

When does Peru play vs. Paraguay?

The match Peru vs. Paraguay will be played next Tuesday, March 29 at the National Stadium in Lima, starting at 6:30 pm (Peruvian time). The ‘Blanquirroja’ needs a win to secure the playoffs or just hope that neither Colombia nor Chile add up, against Venezuela and Uruguay respectively.
