Universitario de Deportes plays a crucial match against UTC at Monumental Stadium for the 17th round of the Clausura Tournament. It has been revealed that Jose Rivera is not part of the squad list provided by Uruguayan coach Jorge Fossati due to an injury he has been carrying since the match against Cesar Vallejo last Thursday in the city of Trujillo.
Therefore, the coach decided not to count on the popular 'Tunche' for the match on Monday, October 2, but it was announced that Roberto Siucho will be included in the squad.
Let's remember that Jose Rivera is one of the options that the Uruguayan coach has used as a replacement in the matches of Universitario, so his absence could be considered a big loss for the team.
