Waiting for his chance. Miguel Trauco was called up for the match that his team, Saint-Étienne, will have against Clermont Foot for matchday 13 of Ligue 1. The duel will take place on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. (Peruvian time) at Stade Geoffroy Guichard.
Miguel Trauco is not going through his best moment. The Peruvian has not been able to establish himself in Claude Puel's starting lineup, so he is struggling to find his football rhythm this season. The last game he played was against Olympique de Lyon on October 3rd.
The Peruvian has played 4 games this season, 3 of them as a starter. He has an average of 74 minutes per match and has not scored yet.
The left-back was called up by Ricardo Gareca to face the double matchday for the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. Trauco competes for the starting spot against Marcos López, player of San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS, and Nilson Loyola, defender of Sporting Cristal.
One of the three will be responsible for contributing to the victory against Bolivia in Lima and Venezuela away. Important matches for qualifying for the next World Cup.
