If Paolo Guerrero is ruled out for the 2018 World Cup, the Peruvian National Team must analyze other options for the number 9 position. FOX Sports Radio Peru sparked controversy with two names: Claudio Pizarro and Gianluca Lapadula.
Each commentator gave their opinion on the matter. For example, Eddie Fleischman stated that Lapadula should not be considered because he had previously rejected the national team, while Junio César Uribe defended the Italian's chances.

However, it is important to remember that Lapadula cannot be considered as a candidate for Ricardo Gareca's list to travel with the Peruvian National Team to Russia 2018, as he does not have Peruvian nationality and the process is too long.
Paolo Guerrero is awaiting a response from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS), which could extend his doping suspension to two years, after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appealed against the Flamengo striker.
