In one of the 'Bicolor' practices, Sonne and the 'Depredador' were seen working together, and they were seen passing the ball as if they were old teammates. In this way, fans were excited about the possibility of seeing them form a duo on the field.
Although Oliver Sonne generally plays as a defender, the coaching staff knows that they can also use him as a right midfielder or even a winger. However, for now, it has not been confirmed which position the player will occupy in Reynoso's scheme.
At the moment, it is unknown whether Sonne will finally be considered in Peru's starting eleven against Chile or Argentina. For now, everything indicates that the starting right-back for these matches will be Luis Advíncula, who has shown great performance in the Copa Libertadores with Boca Juniors.
