Headache for Fossati: Universitario's two absences against César Vallejo

The Clausura Tournament has heated up after Melgar, Sporting Cristal, Universitario de Deportes, and Alianza Lima are almost tied at the top. That is why, in view of this situation, the merengue team will have to face a very complicated match against César Vallejo and for this duel it will not have two key figures of the club.

After this situation, coach Jorge Fossati will have to go out onto the field with a renewed starting eleven to be able to fight against the Trujillo team and try to take the three points playing away. In addition, they cannot let their guard down, since the 'poets' are looking to secure a spot in the Copa Sudamericana.

For the next match, the Uruguayan strategist will not be able to count on Alexander Succar due to the injury that he has not been able to overcome yet. In addition, in the defensive line, he will not be able to count on Williams Riveros due to the accumulation of yellow cards that both players have, which leaves them unable to play in this clash.

Universitario will face Universidad César Vallejo this Thursday, September 28, for the 16th round of the Clausura Tournament, starting at 18:00 hours, at the Mansiche stadium in Trujillo.

"The absence would be that of Alexander Succar due to injury, he has not fully recovered yet. Unexpected was the absence of Williams Riveros because I never understood why they showed him a yellow card, the only yellow card we had in the whole match was shown to the only player who had 4 yellow cards. The same happened with Di Benedetto. In an absolutely normal foul, there had already been other fouls that were not sanctioned, Riveros' deserved a card. We try to take it positively," Fossati commented last Tuesday.
