The chilean team is defined for the America Cup of United States 2024. The coach Ricardo Gareca delivered the final and definitive roster for the continental tournament, which will be Tigre’s debut with La Roja for points.
First of all, Gareca confirms the presence of Claudio Bravo and Eduardo Vargas, who returned to La Roja at the hands of Tigre. The goalkeeper will even be in the Copa América despite the scare of his physical discomfort against Paraguay.
Among the surprises, Nicolás Fernández from Audax Italiano and César Pérez from Unión La Calera get on the plane in a list that finally has 26 players, the maximum allowed despite the fact that the possibility of La Roja going with fewer players to the continental tournament was raised.
Alexis Sánchez and Mauricio Isla lead, along with Bravo and Vargas, the surviving group of the golden generation, while Gareca summons Esteban Pavez at the last minute after the painful loss of Felipe Loyola. Arturo Vidal and Gary Medel miss the continental tournament permanently.
