Luis Advíncula arrived in Lima to join the Peruvian team with a view to the playoffs | VIDEO

He encouraged Boca Juniors in La Bombonera as one more fan last Thursday and celebrated the victory (1-0) over Deportivo Cali, which qualified “Xeneize” for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Already this morning, Luis Advíncula took the plane from Argentina and arrived in Peru, with a view to the playoff match for the World Cup.

The arrival of the ‘Rayo’ captured the attention of members of the press, who besieged it at the Jorge Chávez International Airport. The Peruvian defender attended to some journalists while he was walking to the vehicle that would take him to Videna de San Luis.

The presence of Luis Advíncula for the match that will define the classification or not of the Peruvian team is still in doubt. The fast footballer presents a right hamstring muscle injury (tear) and recovery time would be at least three weeks.

Advíncula’s medical report was released last Tuesday, two days after winning the title of the Argentine Professional League Cup, after beating Tigre 3-0. In that match, ‘Bolt’ was on the court for 90 minutes.

When does the Peruvian team play?

The Peruvian team will return to activity on Sunday, June 5, in a preparation match against New Zealand (10:30 am Peru time). After that, those led by Ricardo Gareca will travel to Qatar to play the playoff against the winner of Australia vs. United Arab Emirates (June 13 at 1:00 pm in Peru), at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.
