A few hours are missing for the start of the match between Alianza Lima and Libertad, for the fourth round in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. Undoubtedly, a match for both institutions, who are fighting to reach the round of 16 in the international tournament. In the midst of all this, there was a concern in Matute regarding the blackboard designed by Guillermo Salas. What happened? In the last hours, it was confirmed that Gino Peruzzi will not be included in the list of concentrated players for tonight's match at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium.
According to Radio Ovación, the player felt discomfort in his knee, the same that did not allow him to complete the last training sessions normally, causing 'Chicho' Salas to decide not to include him in the final squad for the match against the 'Guaraníes', which will start at 9 pm.
At Alianza Lima, they believe it is appropriate not to demand too much from Gino Peruzzi in a match that, although it is crucial for the team, could endanger his physical integrity, so they will wait for the results of the medical evaluation with the aim of determining how long they will have to do without the Argentine.
Pay attention to one detail, although the blanquiazul coach is considering options to cover the position left by the right back, it is almost a fact that it would be Yordi Vílchez who will take the position on the field, although this will be defined minutes before the match starts.
How do Alianza Lima and Libertad arrive at the match?
Alianza Lima arrives at this match with the aim of winning at all costs, as their position in Group G is at stake: for now, they are in second place with four points. That is, if they add three points at home, the team will take a big step to continue in the international tournament (note: the leader of the group is Athletico Paranaense, with seven points).
On the other hand, Libertad had to cut their celebrations after winning the Paraguayan Apertura Tournament, as they traveled to Lima on a charter flight for the match at Matute. The team would undergo some changes compared to the starting eleven that played against Olimpia.
