Universitario continues to fight in their participation during the 2023 Clausura Tournament that allows them to dream of the national title at the end of the year, something they haven't achieved since 2013, when they celebrated in Huancayo against Real Garcilaso under the direction of coach Ángel Comizzo.
In the last match of the Liga 1, the merengues faced an agonizing draw against Deportivo Garcilaso at Estadio Monumental, where besides only getting one point in the table, in the final minutes of the match they were affected by two red cards, and unfortunately for the students' team, they won't be able to participate in the next match.
For matchday 11, Universitario will travel to the north of the country to face Atlético Grau, and coach Jorge Fossati won't be able to field his starting eleven with two key players who have earned their place over the course of the games.
What players won't be in the Universitario vs. Atlético Grau game?
The two elements of the Ate team who were sent off in the last match were Edison Flores and Aldo Corzo. As usual, they usually start, so now the Uruguayan coach will have to solve things on the board to field a team that can rival the 'albos' and return home with three points in their pocket.
In addition, according to Jorge Fossati's latest statements, defender Marco Saravia would still be out for this match, as he has not fully recovered from the injury that has been bothering him for a few weeks.
What other players could be doubtful for the match?
Although they have been seen in Universitario's recent training sessions, the players who could join the list of absences are: Alexander Succar and Roberto Siucho. Although there is no updated report on their injuries so far, their presence in the match will depend on their condition and the coach's decision.
When and at what time do Universitario vs. Atlético Grau play?
The 'Blancos' will host Universitario this Sunday, August 27th, starting at 13:00 hours at Estadio Municipal de Bernal.
