Possible drop in the Peruvian National Team
On the 69th minute of the match between Universidad de Chile vs. Colo Colo, Gabriel Costa had to request an immediate substitution due to discomfort in his knee. The popular 'Gabi' was attended to by the medical staff of 'Cacique', who informed TNT Sports de Chile that our compatriot suffered a possible medial ligament rupture in his right knee.
This news has raised alarms in the technical command of the Peruvian National Team, who were counting on Gabriel Costa to replace André Carrillo for the match against Chile. If the seriousness of the popular 'Gabi's' injury is confirmed, Ricardo Gareca will have to evaluate the best options to face the 'Clásico del Pacífico' in this triple October fixture.
Gabriel Costa played a great match in the Chilean classic between Universidad de Chile vs. Colo Colo, causing an own goal for his team's 0-2 lead and creating goal opportunities in the opponent's field.
Not only the fans of the Peruvian National Team were scared by Gabriel Costa's situation, but also Colo Colo supporters do not want to lose their forward in this final stretch of the season.
When does Peru vs Chile play?
The match between Peru vs Chile is scheduled for Thursday, October 7th at 20:00 local time (01:00 GMT) at the National Stadium in Lima.
