The coach of the Peruvian National Team, Ricardo Gareca, gave an interview to Radio Late from Argentina where he commented that the FPF assured him that Paolo Guerrero will be available to play after May 3rd with La Blanquirroja.

"Regarding what they told me, Paolo Guerrero will be available. They told me that any inconvenience or setback would be after the World Cup. The FPF assured me that Paolo Guerrero's suspension will be lifted starting May 3rd and he can play for Flamengo and the Peruvian National Team," the coach expressed to the program 'Jogo Bonito'.

There are names that people request in the Peruvian National Team. Argentine journalists analyzed the situation they are going through with 'La Albiceleste', where they ask Jorge Sampaoli to call up Franco Armani. The question was if the coach in Peru goes through something similar. In response to that, the 'Tigre' said: "Yes, of course, football is a matter of opinion and everyone has their own preferences about who should be called up. We started with a significant number of names from the local and international football, but as time goes by, we narrow down and analyze a specific list. But there are always concerns about certain players. Regarding doubts, we may have some in a specific position."

On the other hand, facing Croatia and Iceland in friendly matches in the United States allows Gareca to comment on Argentina's group stage matches in the World Cup.

"Argentina is in a position to beat Croatia and Iceland. They are at a level where the matches can be in their favor. Croatia is a team to be careful with, Iceland knows what they want on the field, which can make things difficult, but Argentina is stronger than those two teams," he concluded.
