The Peruvian team is two dates away from knowing if it will be able to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. In fact, it is 9 days that separate the national team from being able to face its first rival that is Uruguay in Montevideo, and then against Paraguay in Lima for the South American Qualifiers. In that sense, Ricardo Gareca and company started training last Monday, March 14, but in this article we will tell you the news about it.
As was well known previously, the players called up playing in Liga 1 were the first to be cited and, on the first day, they only worked in the gym, due to the same fact that they had games last weekend and Ricardo Gareca does not need to load them just at startup.
However, the novelty for this Tuesday, 15, was that they have already started doing work with the ball and increased the intensity a little more. This is how they carried out the internships in conjunction with the under-20 national team where, according to the images published by the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) through the Twitter account “Peruvian Selection”, you can see Alex Valera, Jhilmar Lora or Christian Ramos in certain plays with the members of the minor team.
“Yesterday in the national team they did gym work because it was the first day, because the players were just coming from the local tournament, they had had matches. Unlike yesterday, today they did fieldwork, work with the ball in tight spaces with the U-20 team. That is the novelty unlike yesterday that they only did gym work. Everyone worked at the same time, except Aldo Corzo who did a different job yesterday because he is recovering from an injury,” said Ana Lucía Rodríguez, a reporter for GOLPERU, about the news of the 'blanquirroja'.
PHYSICAL SITUATION OF ALDO CORZO
And it is that we remember that Aldo Corzo was injured in the last match that his club, Universitario de Deportes, played against Barcelona SC de Guayaquil for the second leg of phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores. The right back presented some discomfort in the abductor that, so far, has not allowed him to train normally and has done work on the sidelines, both in the 'cream' square in Campomar, as well as with the national team at the training center in San Luis.
In that case, it is expected that over the course of the days he will be able to return to regular training sessions with the rest of his teammates with Peru to see if he manages to stand before the 'charruas' in Montevideo on Thursday, March 24, or, at best, reach the 'Guaraníes' on Tuesday, March 29 in Lima.
PHYSICAL PROBLEM WITH JHILMAR LORA?
However, Ana Lucía also announced that Lora also carried out differentiated work in the first training of the week with the 'bicolor', although she does not know if she is already recovered. Although according to the photos they published from the same FPF, it could be said that the evolution of the Sporting Cristal player would be on the right track.
STATE OF GIANLUCA LAPADULA
For now, that is the current situation surrounding Videna regarding the situation of the players in these first days of training. It should be noted that Gianluca Lapadula is another player who set off the alarms these days as he was not present in the Benevento call due to an injury. However, as mentioned in a previous note, the Peruvian striker would only have a slight ankle corner and could be in optimal condition for the Serie B match against Frosinone of this Saturday, March 19.
