Universitario Announces Five Absences for ADT Clash in Liga 1 Debut
Universitario de Deportes is gearing up for its Liga 1 debut against ADT de Tarma. As the team aims for a victory in the Apertura Tournament, they confront a challenging situation with multiple absences due to injuries and eligibility issues.
Five Absences for Universitario in Liga 1 Debut
Head coach Javier Rabanal has announced that Universitario will be without five key players for their opening match. These absences could impact the team’s chances of starting the season on a high note.
List of Absent Players
- Sekou Gassama
- Héctor Fértoli
- Anderson Santamaría
- Williams Riveros
- Matías Di Benedetto
Sekou Gassama is unavailable as he is not yet fit enough to play. Both Héctor Fértoli and Anderson Santamaría are still recovering from injuries and have not been included in the squad.
The cases of Williams Riveros and Matías Di Benedetto are slightly more complex. The club is working on their nationalization, which would free up foreign slots within the team. Unfortunately, Riveros has not passed his nationalization exam, meaning they will remain sidelined until further notice.
Positive News for Universitario
Despite these challenges, the coaching staff has made noteworthy selections for the match. César Inga, Lisandro Alzugaray, and Miguel Silveira have been called up for the game against ADT.
A notable change this season is that Inga will continue with the squad, after failing to finalize a transfer. Additionally, fans will have the opportunity to watch Alzugaray and Silveira, two promising new signings, make their debuts.
