Bryan Reyna aimed to make a comeback with Alianza Lima in Trujillo, but an unexpected ailment left him out of the traveling list for Sunday's match (5:15 p.m.) against Carlos Mannucci at Mansiche.
The Peruvian winger suffered a strain in his left thigh, so the coaching staff of Alianza decided to rest him as a precaution.
Mauricio Larriera prefers to have a fully fit Reyna, especially since the next match will be against Melgar at Matute, a crucial duel for Alianza's aspirations in the Clausura.
Without the national team player, the Uruguayan coach will continue to rely on Franco Zanelatto as the left winger for Alianza against Mannucci.
The club is obliged to win in Trujillo to catch up with Sporting Cristal and Universitario in the table; any other result would distance them from a tight fight for the Clausura title.
