There are 26 athletes who will be part of the Red and of them seven play in national clubs, four in Colo Colo, and 19 play in foreign teams.
An unfortunate case was that of the young Felipe Loyola, midfielder of the current major league champion, Huachipato, who suffered a severe injury in the friendly match against Paraguay and was left out of the squad.
Gareca selected the legendary Claudio Bravo, Gabriel Arias and Brayan Cortés as goalkeepers.
The defense line includes Matías Catalán, Mauricio Isla, Gabriel Suazo, Guillermo Maripán, Paulo Díaz, Igor Lichnovsky, Benjamín Kusevic, Thomas Galdámez and Nicolás Fernández.
Erick Pulgar, Marcelino Núñez, Rodrigo Echeverría, César Pérez, Diego Valdés and Esteban Pavez were designated to occupy the midfield.
Finally, the forward line was made up of Ben Brereton, the incombustible Alexis Sánchez, Darío Osorio, Eduardo Vargas, Víctor Dávila, Marcos Bolados, Maximiliano Guerrero and Cristian Zavala.
Two historical figures of Chilean football were not called up by Tigre Gareca for the continental tournament: Arturo, the king, Vidal, and the pitbull Gary Medel, who in the last few hours was presented as a new member of the Argentine club Boca Juniors.
Chile will debut in Group A of the Copa América on Friday, June 21 against Peru in the city of Arlington, Texas, and on Tuesday the 25th it will face Argentina in New Jersey.
In the last group matchday, La Roja will play against Canada in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday the 29th.
