At the 58th minute of the game, during the match between the Peruvian National Team and Colombia for the U-20 South American Championship, Gilmar Paredes fell on the grass. Immediately, he was assisted by one of his teammates, suggesting a strong cramp.
However, the attention was not enough. The medical staff of the national team had to enter to provide support, but one of the members immediately signaled to the coaching staff requesting a substitution.
So, on a stretcher, the Sporting Cristal player was taken off. The defender was holding his head, in clear pain, while one of the assistants kept his left leg stretched out.
Although it seemed to be a cramp, the exact diagnosis of Gilmar Paredes is still unknown at this time. For now, he is doubtful for the next match of the Peruvian National Team, scheduled for Monday against Paraguay, for the 3rd round of the U-20 South American Championship.
