The player from Sport Chavelines, Kevin Santamaría, from the Peruvian football League 2, was called up by the El Salvador National Team to play the next matches of the octagonal of the CONCACAF for the Qualifiers towards Qatar 2022.

'Tibu', as he is known in his country, returns to 'La Selecta' after six years of absence, after recovering from a long injury and serving the FIFA sanction for testing positive for Dimethyl butylamine in a doping test carried out in Guatemala back in 2015.

"The Technical Team headed by professor Hugo Pérez has decided that the player Kevin Oswaldo Santamaría Guzmán will join the training sessions starting from this date", reads the statement from the Salvadoran Football Federation.

It is worth mentioning that Kevin Santamaría, who has made 18 appearances with his country and has scored two goals, is the biggest novelty for 'La Selecta', since he was initially not on the official list of call-ups, but in the end, coach Hugo Pérez decided to include him.

"It is clarified that the midfielder would be eligible for the Octagonal games against Jamaica and Panama", is also stated in the statement from the El Salvador National Team.
