Alliance Lima
Alliance Lima has suffered with the issue of injuries so far this season, some of which have been serious. That is why players like Gabriel Costa, Pablo Sabbag and Ángelo Campos have missed weeks of playing in matches, while others like Andrés Andrade and Gino Peruzzi are still recovering.
In that sense, in the absence of players like Hernán Barcos and Franco Zanelatto for the match against UTC, interim coach Nixon Perea has been forced to improvise. Thus, Gerson Cuba de Ovación revealed that the Colombian decided to call up the young Jhoao Velásquez for this match in the Clausura Tournament.
This season, Velásquez has appeared in the squad of the Victorian team on five different occasions. However, to date, the 18-year-old defender has not had the opportunity to debut with the blanquiazul jersey.
It is worth noting that the 'potrillo', who was in Ecuador playing in the Copa Mitad del Mundo, is not the only promising player who will be part of Alliance Lima against UTC. Actually, Bassco Soyer will also be called up by Perea for this match.
How much is Jhoao Velásquez worth?
Jhoao Velásquez's transfer is currently valued at around 25,000 euros, according to figures from the international portal Transfermarkt. However, as the player continues to progress in his football career, undoubtedly his market value will continue to grow.
