The Peruvian national team continues training to be in optimal condition for the away game against Paraguay and Brazil in Lima. The 'Bicolor' knows that its main objective will be to qualify for the next World Cup, which will be held in Canada, the United States, and Mexico in 2026.

However, it was revealed on the last day that the national coach will not be able to count on one of his defenders. The reason? The player who plays for Sporting Cristal has not recovered from his injury.

We are talking about defender Jhilmar Lora, who will not be in the national team for this first double date of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. According to LIBERO, the 22-year-old Peruvian player has not fully recovered from his injury.

After being left out of the final squad list, Jhilmar Lora will have to return to Sporting Cristal to continue his recovery ahead of the 'clásico moderno' match, which will be played on Saturday, September 16, at the Estadio Nacional in Lima.

However, Jhilmar Lora is not the only player dropped from the Peruvian national team due to injury. Also, the player from Alianza Lima, Bryan Reyna, will not be part of Peru's matches against Paraguay and Brazil.

During the Santos vs Pumas match in the Liga MX, Peruvian player Pedro Aquino suffered an injury and had to be substituted after just 37 minutes. It is not yet known if it is serious, but the FPF has already indicated that he will not be able to be present against Paraguay and Brazil.
