Jorge Fossati has had some doubts about the starting eleven for this crucial match, with one of the most notable being in the goalkeeper position. José Carvallo is the usual starter for the team, but Diego Romero has had good performances when he was given the opportunity. However, the coach has already decided who to start between the two.
Romero will be the starting goalkeeper this Sunday
The chosen one to stand between the three posts of the merengue squad against the mistianos is Romero, while Carvallo will be among the substitutes. This was reported by journalist Gustavo Peralta on the Liga 1 Radio program.
Romero and what he can bring to Universitario against Melgar
The young 21-year-old goalkeeper has some characteristics that can help Universitario in this match. Firstly, he is safe when it comes to catching aerial balls thanks to his height (1.88 meters). In addition, he has good footwork when it comes to making long clearances, which is useful at high altitudes to create more chances of danger if his teammates know how to take advantage of it.
It will be his eighth match of the season
Diego Romero will face his eighth match with the university team this season. In his previous matches, he conceded a total of six goals and kept a clean sheet on two occasions.
