Aware of the importance surrounding the upcoming classic against Universitario, both because of the significance of the rival and the great opportunity to improve their position in the standings, Alianza Lima will rely on the best of their squad to take the three points.
With this goal in mind, coach Carlos Bustos will call up all the eligible players, including Jefferson Farfán. The 'Foquita' has been training in the last few days with the rest of his teammates, which has raised the hopes of the fans for his possible return after several months away from the pitch.
In 2022 so far, 'Jeffry' has not played a single official minute due to the long recovery time required for his knee injury. Despite his absence, the blanquiazules have managed to fight in this edition of the Liga 1.

The last match Farfán played with the Alianza shirt was the second leg final of the 2021 championship against Sporting Cristal. Against 'U', he hasn't played since May 2, 2004, a match that the victorianos won 1-0 precisely with a goal from him.
When is the Alianza vs. Universitario classic?
The 'compadres' will face each other this Sunday, September 4th at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium, starting at 3:30 p.m. It will be the first classic at Matute since 2019, when the visit won 3-2.
