Ricardo Gareca gave a new press conference to give details of what is coming for the Peruvian national team and also to comment on the process and the highlights of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. On the other hand, he answered the doubts that exist about the injuries of André Carillo, Gianluca Lapadula and Carlos Zambrano. For the 'Tiger' everyone will arrive.
ANDRÉ CARRILLO REACHES THE LIMIT
“We think André Carrillo can make it. We are confident that times will give him so that he can be there,” said the Argentine strategist from La Videna, where he began the conference at 10:00 a.m. (Peruvian time) before a large number of media attendees.
The 'Culebra' is the footballer who worries the most in the Peruvian national team after he suffered an injury in the match against Uruguay and missed the match against Paraguay. Since then he has not played and, according to the FPF, the footballer had a sprained knee. From Arabia they were a little clearer and gave two months as a recovery time, so the winger would reach the limit and with little shooting.
GIANLUCA LAPADULA AND HIS SEPTUM
As is already known, Gianluca Lapadula has a septal injury that has not yet been operated on because of the important matches that the Peruvian national team had. The striker ended up playing the last few commitments and was vital, giving more importance to his decision to postpone the operation.
Now, Ricardo Gareca commented that this will take a little longer, saying that he will still enter the operating room after the repechage match. “I don't think there will be surgery (the septum) in these instances. Later, let him have a more prudential time to recover,” commented the Argentine coach.
ABOUT CARLOS ZAMBRANO AND HIS POSSIBLE TEAR
'León suffered an injury against Deportivo Cali in the framework of the first date of the 2022 Copa Libertadores. In the morning the central defender declared that he “thinks it is a tear” and now Ricardo Gareca finished calming everyone with the following statement: “Regarding Zambrano's injury we are waiting. There is injury, but we don't think it's important to leave it out of competition. We don't think it's serious,” he said.
