With Rodrigo Vilca's return: Jorge Araujo revealed his first call-up at Universitario

Universitario urges for a victory to stay in the fight for first place in the Torneo Apertura. The 'Cremas' arrive hurt by the defeat at home against Alianza Lima in the Classic (1-4), but they will have the opportunity to redeem themselves in the company of their fans, as they will play again this Sunday at Monumental Stadium, this time against Sport Boys.

The match against the Callao club will be special for 'U', as it will also mark the debut of coach Jorge Araujo on the substitute bench, after being appointed on an interim basis, replacing Álvaro Gutiérrez. In that sense, the new coaching staff revealed their first call-up.

The main novelty in the list is the return of Rodrigo Vilca, who fulfilled his suspension for being expelled against Ayacucho FC. As for absences, Uruguayan players Federico Alonso and Hernán Novick were left out of the concentration this time.
