Juan Reynoso announced his first call-up for the FIFA date, in which the Peruvian National Team will face Mexico and El Salvador in the United States on the 24th and 27th of this month. In that sense, the Peruvian coach surprised everyone by not calling anyone from Alianza Lima.

Why didn't Reynoso call anyone from Alianza?
The main reason why Juan Reynoso did not call anyone from Alianza Lima is that this club has a pending match and wants to play with its entire squad. The same applies to FBC Melgar, which has two games remaining.
At the time, Alianza delegate Tito Ordoñez stated, "Alianza Lima considers that the ideal for a better spectacle and respect for the fans of both clubs is for the match to be played with complete squads... The Club does not accept under any circumstances playing without the selected players".
The pending match between Alianza Lima and FBC Melgar to be played at Matute will take place on Wednesday, September 14, all because the Arequipa team was eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana and rescheduling them for the next 21st would mean.
And while there is no one from Alianza in the main squad, Jairo Concha is in the selective list. What does that mean? That none of them will participate in the friendly matches of this FIFA date, but they will be invited to train at Videna.
About Melgar, Reynoso was clear and left a specific message. "If you compare the number of matches they have played, they already have an advantage over the rest of the clubs. They would only travel to play a few minutes in the friendly matches, and I don't see it as consistent".
