The 'Ajedrecista's decision this time was to summon 10 footballers who play in the 2023 League 1 and most of them are standing out in their clubs, so they will be good alternatives both in the starting eleven and coming off the bench. Know who they are and which team contributes more athletes to the Blanquirroja.
Who are the summoned players from the League 1 and which clubs contribute the most?
As expected, Alianza Lima, Universitario, and Sporting Cristal are the teams that contribute the most players to the list, with three each. The remaining spot was taken by FBC Melgar. Get to know those called up by Reynoso from the domestic tournament.
- José Carvallo (Universitario)
- Carlos Cáceda (FBC Melgar)
- Carlos Zambrano (Alianza Lima)
- Jhilmar Lora (Sporting Cristal)
- Jesús Castillo (Sporting Cristal)
- Yoshimar Yotún (Sporting Cristal)
- Christian Cueva (Alianza Lima)
- Andy Polo (Universitario)
- Bryan Reyna (Alianza Lima)
- Alex Valera (Universitario)
Who are in the best moment among the 10 called up from the League 1?
The 10 players come from different moments. The ones who are having a great moment are the center-back and the winger of Alianza Lima, the right-back of Sporting Cristal, and the forward of Universitario. Zambrano and Reyna are two of the pillars of Alianza's Apertura title, both in defense and attack. Jhilmar Lora is playing at a high level, especially in the Copa Libertadores, and Alex Valera is the highest-scoring Peruvian in the League 1's top scorers table.
Polo and Castillo have maintained consistency in their performances in their clubs while 'Yoshi' and 'Aladino' are improving their performance after criticism from Crystal and Alianza fans. The two goalkeepers, on the other hand, are heavily questioned, but the 'Cabezón' maintains his confidence in them for these friendlies.
