Universitario will face Carlos A.Mannucci on matchday 6 of the Opening Tournament at Mansiche Stadium. The 'Merengues' have the tough challenge of achieving a victory to get out of their bad streak of results in the local tournament.
Along those lines, several media outlets were expecting some statements from the players at Jorge Chavez Airport. Jorge Murrugarra and Piero Quispe managed to be figures who responded to the press about current issues, but Alexander Succar also did the same.
The Universitario de Deportes forward stated that he is practically recovered from the injury he had a few days ago, which is why he was included in Carlos Compagnucci's call-up. In this way, everything would indicate that he could have his opportunity against the squad led by Uruguayan coach Mario Viera.
"I'm almost 100% and ready to play. We're going to go for the victory," said Alexander Succar to Radio Ovación. As you may recall, the Merengue striker also had some minutes in the final stretch of the classic against Alianza Lima.
