Everything indicates that Claudio Bravo would be left out of the Chilean National Team’s debut in the 2024 Copa América. The goalkeeper was injured in the friendly against Paraguayso coach Ricardo Gareca must choose his replacement.
“Everyone’s Team” will play its first match of the continental tournament this Friday, June 21stwhen it is their turn to face Peru, a country with which they share Group A along with Canada and the current champion, the Argentine National Team.
THE LAST
Brayan Cortés or Gabriel Arias?
Last Sunday, La Roja traveled to the United States, headquarters of the sporting event, where they have already carried out their first training sessions.
The Mega journalist Gustavo Huertawho is in North American lands, assured that the Argentine coach, given the two options he has to replace Bravo, if he is not ready for the debut: Brayan Cortes and Gabriel Ariaswould lean toward the latter.
According to Huerta, some antecedents that account for this possible election are “Chile’s match against Paraguay, Let’s remember that Gabriel Arias came in thereand also the work that Ricardo Gareca did yesterday (Tuesday) at the practice, where he already stopped eleven.”

How would La Roja form against Peru?
Along these lines, he detailed who were the players that Gareca tried in that instance: Gabriel Arias, Mauricio Isla, Igor Lichnovsky, Paulo Díaz, Gabriel Suazo, Erick Pulgar, Marcelino Núñez, Víctor Dávila, Alexis Sánchez, Darío Osorio and Eduardo Vargas.
Although that could be a possible lineup, Huerta highlighted that the trans-Andean coach made some modifications during practice that he could replicate for Friday’s duel. “He removed Paulo Díaz from the star team and entered Matías Catalán. The other change is the income of Diego Valdes by Darío Osorio”.
It should be noted that Chile faces the competition with quite a bit of enthusiasm after its victory in its only friendly prior to the competition, where it beat Paraguay 3-0 in the National Stadiumwith two notes by Víctor Dávila and one by Eduardo Vargas.
