Erick Osores reappeared on television screens this Friday, June 14, in the preview of the friendly between the peruvian team and El Salvador for the FIFA 2024 date. The renowned sports journalist, with a long career, was honored with an emotional video in America TVafter several months in which he was fighting a severe illness.
For a long time, the unique sports news host in Peru stayed away from television broadcasts, after having a complicated medical diagnosis. The football commentator stayed strong in his fight and did everything he could to recover. In fact, he recently received a medical discharge, news that made all of his followers happy.
A month ago, Osores shared his happiness after overcoming the disease and announced that he would soon reappear on television screens to do what he likes most. “Here I am back, making my first video after a long time, but it’s worth it. I send you a big hug, I hope to see you soon, in fact it will be like that,” he said.
That day long awaited by him and his colleagues became a reality shortly before the duel between Peru and El Salvador, which serves the ‘bicolor’ in preparation for the Copa America 2024. His return was quite emotional. The sports journalist was honored with an emotional video that reviews some funny and significant moments as a reporter and host on the channel.
“I was a little down because of the national team, but seeing you here fills me with enthusiasm, joy and satisfaction. The truth is that América Televisión and América Deportes are not the same without you. He who had not realized it, today it was realized”, were the words of Óscar del Portal for Erick Osores.
“I want to take the opportunity to thank the signal because it has been extraordinarily good to me during this time. I thank all the people who have supported me during this time”Replied the sports driver.
It is important to mention that, despite the illness with which he has fought in these months of absence, Erick Osores has maintained a constant presence in the information scene of the national and international football through their activities on social networks. The sports journalist has used digital platforms to continue providing content, with analysis and opinions on Peruvian football.
The Peruvian team refines the last details to face a new edition of the America Cup. The ‘bicolor’ will play its last friendly against El Salvador and, after that, Jorge Fossati will dictate his final roster for the continental competition, which will take place in the United States from June 20 to July 14 of this year.
The national team will have a tough challenge on North American soil. In the first round, you will share a group with Chile, Argentina and Canada. In fact, his debut will be against none other than the ‘red’ in another chapter of ‘Pacific classic’, match that will not only mark the official debut of the Uruguayan coach on the national bench, but also that of Ricardo Gareca (former coach of Peru) with the rival ‘mapocho’.
The outlook looks complicated for the ‘bicolor’, which had a bad start in the Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup, placing last in the table with only two points. With the help of Fossati, the team hopes to reverse this adverse situation in the Copa América, trusting to play an optimal role, just as it has been doing in the last editions of this traditional tournament.
