Gianluca Lapadula continues to be unable to play for Benevento since the victory against Paraguay and will add four consecutive matches without action after not being considered for the match tomorrow, April 14, against Cosenza. The Peruvian national team forward is unable to recover from an ankle injury and raises alarms both in his club and in our country, which will have to play the playoff against Australia or the United Arab Emirates in June.

Why doesn't Lapadula play for Benevento?
According to Líbero, the Italian-Peruvian football player arrived in Peru with an ankle injury for the last double match against Uruguay and Paraguay. His injury worsened after the match against the Paraguayans and his club hopes he can recover as soon as possible. So far, 'Lapagol' has not been able to play against Pisa, Reggina, Vicenza, and Cosenza.
However, the Peruvian national team is not very concerned since they believe he will be able to make it for the match against Australia or the United Arab Emirates in June for the continental playoff to qualify for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Ricardo Gareca revealed how Lapadula joined the national team
"We went after Lapadula as soon as he emerged. He said 'no' at first, but then in the second round of qualifiers, we received his call because he wanted to be part of the national team," revealed the coach of the Blanquirroja on ESPN.
