The next challenge for the Peruvian National Team is the feared Brazil, at the National Stadium, for matchday 2 of the 2026 South American Qualifiers. The 'Canarinha' comes from thrashing Bolivia 5-1 and is playing at a high level. Juan Reynoso is aware that he needs all his cards to try to add points against the Brazilians. That is why, in the face of the possible absence of Miguel Trauco -he felt it after the match against Paraguay at the Antonio Aranda Stadium in Ciudad del Este-, the coach called Sporting Cristal's Nilson Loyola as an emergency. Now, when all eyes were on the San Jose Earthquakes defender, it has been confirmed in the last hours that Christofer Gonzales has been deconvened due to injury.
According to Depor, it is almost certain that the San Jose Earthquakes' full-back will not be available against Neymar and Rodrygo's team, as he has a small rib fracture. Remember that Trauco couldn't train on Friday night with his teammates (regenerative work was done) and underwent a magnetic resonance imaging.
