Why Jorge Fossati chose Oliver Sonne over Piero Quispe and Jean Pierre Archimbaud for Peru vs Uruguay in the 2026 Qualifiers

The preparation of Peru became more complicated because five starters suffered the loss to face Uruguay on Friday, October 11 at 8:30 p.m. at the National Stadium in Lima, on the 9th of the South American Qualifiers 2026. El DT Jorge Fossati has the mission of searching for replacements for Renato Tapia, Gianluca Lapadula, Luis Advíncula, Wilder Cartagena and Marcos Lópezwho will not be taken into account due to injuries and suspensions.

Of all these absences, the most affected side is the midfield and there is a lot of expectation to know who will occupy the places in the ‘captain of the future’ and the steering wheel Orlando City. In the last training session of the ‘white-red’the coach tested a possible eleven that will be measured against the ‘charrúas’ and one of the big surprises is the inclusion of Oliver Sun as inside right next to Jesús Castillo and Sergio Peña. That generated many reactions and opened debate on social networks.

Finally, the alignment that would present the ‘bicolor‘before the squad of Marcelo Bielsa It would be the following: Pedro Gallese; Miguel Araujo, Carlos Zambrano, Luis Abram; Andy Polo, Oliver Sonne, Jesús Castillo, Sergio Peña, Alexander Callens; Edison Flores and Alex Valera.

Diego Rebagliati did an exhaustive analysis and explained why Ditches chose the side of the Silkeborg IF of the Danish Super League above Piero Quispe and Jean Pierre Archimbaud. The sports commentator highlighted a virtue of Sonne that would have tipped the balance in his favor and made it clear that the ‘Viking’ will take the place of Wilder Cartagena in the midfield.

“I think the explanation is the rhythm. What can Sonne have above Quispe and Archimbaud to convince Fossati today? I think it is because we are going to play against a half of the field in which Nicolás Fonseca will be very supportive, and Federico Valverde and Giorgian de Arrascaeta. So, basically, it is being able to do a sustained and constant back and forth. I think he is betting on that, Sonne is going to end up replacing Cartagena, within this idea of ​​the team that Fossati has in mind in the middle of the field, which would be Tapia. Cartagena and Peña. If Peña and Quispe play, Peña will play on the right and Quispe on the left. If Sonne plays with Castillo and Peña, he will end up playing on the right: Sonne for Cartagena, they are very different, but Sonne has characteristics to give you that back and forth, the rhythm has it. You have to see how he plays in smaller spaces, without having the support of the line,” said the communicator in his program ‘Al Ángulo’.

For his part, the sports journalist Pedro Garcia explained the changes that peruvian team will have in the middle of the field: “In that triangle in the middle of Peru it will be that Jesús Castillo plays for Renato Tapia, Sergio Peña plays for Sergio Peña and Oliver Sonne plays for Cartagena. Let’s say there are several changes.”

The peruvian team You will have to be careful not to lose more players since you could have more casualties in the next game with Brazil visiting. He ‘everyone’s team’ has five key players who are in the chapel and if they receive one more card, they cannot be taken into account against the ‘canarinha’.

Pedro Gallese, Alexander Callens, Miguel Araujo, Renato Tapia y Bryan Reyna They are the footballers who are at the limit and everyone except the midfielder Leganes They could be absent for the clash next Tuesday, October 15 in Brasilia.
