Ricardo Gareca led a press conference before the friendly with Paraguay, which will be played this Tuesday at the National Stadium. The DT responded to the media’s queries and surprised with an announcement.
“(Guillermo Maripán and Paulo Díaz) are in discomfort. The medical staff has told me that it is not something serious, so we expect an evolution and at this stage we don’t need to rush anyone. You have to give them enough time to recover. In any case, for any eventuality, we are going to cover ourselves with the incorporation of (Benjamín) Kuscevic,” he said.
“He has been called and today afternoon he will be arriving at Juan Pinto Durán. (The call) is only for the match with Paraguay. As I said, We cover ourselves because we do not have Maripán and Díaz,” Gareca added.
The La Roja coach clarified that this nomination does not necessarily mean that Kuscevic will travel to the United States: “After the game we will see in what state everyone ends up and what the real situation of each one is. Anyone can leave or anyone can enter. When you have a general report from the medical and physical departments, We are going to proceed (to give the payroll). It will be before June 15.”
