Peru officially announced its lineup for the international friendly against New Zealand prior to the Qatar 2022 playoff, and it caught everyone's attention the absence of Miguel Trauco, who did not enter the starting eleven.
The defender from Saint-Etienne in France was not considered from the start by the coaching staff of Ricardo Gareca as a precaution, as he had a slight physical discomfort during the week.
Marcos López, a young player who plays for the San Jose Earthquakes in the Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States, is responsible for replacing Miguel Trauco.
UPDATE
During the warm-up of the Peruvian national team, Miguel Trauco appeared dressed in shorts and performing pre-competitive work with his teammates. Later, he took his place on the substitute bench.
