The absences in Ricardo Gareca’s call for the playoff against Australia

Ricardo Gareca unveiled the squad list for the peruvian national team for the match against Australia or the United Arab Emirates for the playoff to the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Because he is still recovering from his injury and still does not have a team, Paolo Guerrero was not taken into account by the technical command.

Paolo Guerrero played his last official match with the Peruvian national team, on October 8, 2021, in the victory of the white and red team against Chile at the National Stadium for the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. He started in the 2-0 win.

That night against Chile, Paolo Guerrero would suffer an injury again. In a recent interview, he confirmed that he made an effort to play the match: “I have even played undercover for the national team against Chile, nobody knows. They took fluid out of my knee to play”.

In an interview with Canal N, regarding the call, he indicated: “I don’t know if they’re going to call me or not. I stay active because I need to play again. The doctor cleared me to train and I’m getting well. I did small jobs and with the ball”.

Other players who were not taken into account were Jefferson Farfán and Raúl Ruidíaz. Farfán is a member of Alianza Lima, but is in the process of recovering from an injury, while Raúl is still not taken into account.
