The Peruvian U-20 National Team had an unpleasant debut in the South American Championship, as they were beaten 0-3 by Brazil, complicating their chances of qualifying for the final hexagonal of the tournament.
But this wouldn't be the only inconvenience that the team would have for their next match against Colombia, as now the absence of one of the starting players for this new game has been confirmed.
This information was announced by the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF), which has mentioned that defender Matías Lazo has a strong contusion in his right foot, so his presence in the coach Jaime Serna's scheme would be completely ruled out.
"This afternoon a radiograph of player Matías Lazo was performed, ruling out a bone injury. Dr. Fernando Barreto mentioned that the diagnosis remains a strong contusion in the right foot, with a favorable evolution," they mentioned.
Who could replace Matías Lazo in Peru?
Let's remember that in the first match of the Peruvian U-20 National Team against Brazil, defender Matías Lazo started in the starting eleven, so in case he doesn't arrive in optimal conditions, coach Jaime Serna could replace him with Álex Custodio.
