Pedro Gallese, the great reference of the Peruvian National Team in the Liga MX, had been performing great performances with Veracruz. However, this Sunday, an injury suffered by the national goalkeeper has left everyone worried. Especially considering that there are only a few months left until the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
In the match of matchday 8 against América, the Peruvian goalkeeper had to leave the field when the end of the first half was very close. He collided with an opponent, received medical assistance, and it was decided that he had to be substituted.

Although there is no official medical report from Veracruz, it has been determined that Pedro Gallese has suffered an injury in his right knee. The pain he felt at that moment was so great that goalkeeper Edgar Hernández had to come in to replace him.
To the concern of the Peruvian National Team fans, Gallese left the field in tears, an image we saw in 2017 when a hand injury kept him away from the pitch a month before facing Argentina in the Russia 2018 qualifiers.
