Peru vs Paraguay: the blanquirroja team faces the Guaraní squad this Tuesday, March 29 in the decisive match towards the World Cup valid for the 18th and final date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers.
The coach of the Peruvian national team Ricardo Gareca will face the match with Paraguay with a noticeable loss in his starting team. Midfielder André Carrillo was disaffected from the call after a significant knee injury was confirmed: sprained left knee.
Taking into account Gareca's last eleven, there are four of the five players confirmed in the starting team, if they repeat the basis of the last match against Uruguay: Sergio Peña, Renato Tapia, Yoshimar Yotún and Christian Cueva, who until now would reach the clash with the Guaraní squad without problems.
Thus, André Carrillo's place from the squad list has up to eight alternatives for his replacement: Christofer Gonzales, Horacio Calcaterra, Edison Flores, Wilder Cartagena, Josepmir Ballón, Jairo Concha, Gabriel Costa and Raziel García.
However, although Gareca could change the midfield position depending on which player to choose, Peru's coach has previously chosen, in the absence of André Carrillo, three regular flyers: Edison Flores, Gabriel Costa and Raziel García.
Without André Carrillo, Edison Flores started in the 2-0 win against Chile on the triple date of the Qatar Qualifiers in October 2021. Faced with the injury of 'Orejas' he opted for Gabriel Costa and included Christofer Gonzales in the visit to Bolivia in La Paz (0-1). Then, in the 1-0 defeat to Argentina in Buenos Aires, he considered Raziel García and repeated with 'Chanchita' Gonzales.
Considering the reference of Peru's last three matches against Colombia, Ecuador and Uruguay, Edison Flores was his first change at the start of the second half. The same happened with Christofer Gonzales, he gave him minutes in the duels in mention.
Given the recent record regarding Ricardo Gareca's elections, the first choice to replace Carrillo would be midfielder Edison Flores or Christofer Gonzales.
In addition, in the last match between Peru and Uruguay, they were left out of the official list of 23 footballers: Josepmir Ballón, Jairo Concha and Gabriel Costa by technical decision. Midfielder Raziel Garcia was suspended and therefore was not included.
Thus, Gareca's preferences, according to the last match against Uruguay, were for Christofer Gonzales, Horacio Calcaterra, Edison Flores and Wilder Cartagena, who were on the bench of substitutes. Even the top three entered the game in the second half of Peru vs. Uruguay.
However, the planning of the match against Paraguay is not necessarily the same as against Uruguay, so the other option, whether it is a replacement or entry into the starting team, would be Gabriel Costa or Raziel García. Waiting for a surprise in the 'Tigre' scheme if you decide for Horacio Calcaterra, Josepmir Ballón or Jairo Concha.
The Peruvian national team returned to training last Friday, March 26 with an impact on the physical recovery of the players who faced Uruguay. It is estimated that this Sunday the 27th will test the starting team that will face Paraguay, rehearse the modifications between the following Monday and Tuesday.
The Peruvian national team arrives in the match with Paraguay after the defeat in Uruguay (1-0) and in fifth place in the standings, playoff zone- of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. A victory would secure a quota for the World Cup Repechage. Colombia (6th with 20 points) and Chile (7th with 21 points) are still expecting a negative result of the bicolor to rise in the table.
