During the press conference of Ricardo Gareca, the coach spoke about his interest in calling up Cristian Benvavente for the friendly matches against Uruguay. However, he explained that 'Chaval's' club did not allow it, claiming that the player was injured.
"First we called up Benavente. He said he was injured and then the possibility of Hohberg arose. His team said no. That's why we called up Alejandro, who has earned the right to be considered," said 'Tigre'.
It should be noted that on Tuesday, through Twitter, Nantes reported that the player suffered from 'plantar fasciitis', an injury caused by a succession of traumas in the sole of the foot.
