Juan Carlos Oblitas questioned the presence of Paolo Guerrero

There is no definite time for it to be in optimal condition again. Paolo Guerrero was unable to fully recover from his knee. The Peruvian striker left the field of play in the match that was played against Chile for the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers and his presence in the next duels with the Peruvian National Team is at risk. Juan Carlos Oblitas could not confirm if the ‘Predator’ can be counted on.

“The Paolo Guerrero issue is complicated because it is a medical issue and many factors play a role in relation to his person, his age and the recovery he must have. We hope to have him in the conditions required, but I cannot give an answer as to whether he will be there soon “said the sports director of the Peruvian National Team at a press conference in La Videna, hoping to have it as soon as possible.

Although Oblitas considers that the presence of Paolo Guerrero in the next call-up will depend more on the medical staff than on the technical command of the Peruvian National Team, he also assured that he is making efforts for the footballer’s prompt recovery.

“We have to wait and see what the doctors and the player himself say. I want a healthy Paolo Guerrero and that will depend a lot on what he wants from here at the end of the Qualifiers heading to Qatar 2022 ″added the national director about the present of the ‘Predator’.

On the other hand, the last triple date of the qualifiers not only meant for the Peruvian National Team to fall in the qualifying classification towards Qatar 2022, but also in the last classification of the FIFA ranking that FIFA announced this Thursday.

The team led by Ricardo Gareca is now in box 24 with 1534.06 points, and is the sixth best located in South America, surpassed by Brazil (2), Argentina (6), Uruguay (15), Colombia (16) and Chile ( 21), which happened to occupy the position that the ‘Bicolor’ had.
