Alianza Lima and the three reinforcements for the 'tri': Larriera recovers Garcia, Sabbag and Benavente

Currently Alianza Lima is doing well in the Clausura Tournament because it is fighting at the top of the standings without giving any respite to the teams in the top positions. They still have two more matches to play against ADT in Lima and Deportivo Garcilaso, and they will be difficult matches as both teams are vying to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. In this context, the team will reinforce itself.

But the players they will add do not come from another league because the transfer market is closed, but that will not exclude them from this important possibility of becoming even more powerful. Santiago García, Pablo Sabbag, and Cristian Benavente, players who are progressing in the rehabilitation of different injuries, will work with the group in the coming days and will be an option for the coach.

Pablo Sabbag, who will return to play and will become a valuable asset for Alianza Lima in the pursuit of the treble, confessed that the last three months were the most difficult of his career due to an ankle injury that, by rushing his return, further complicated his situation. "El Jeque", as the Colombian striker is nicknamed, is eager to make his mark on the club's history.

"They were three months of sh**, because I was in the best moment of my career and all of a sudden this happened," said the Colombian, who suffered a second-degree ankle sprain. "In some matches, they injected me so I wouldn't feel the pain, but it limited me a lot. In the classic match, it not only hurt, it didn't let me play anymore," recalled the top scorer of the white and blue team with nostalgia.

So far, he has scored 9 goals in the Liga 1 Bettson and 1 in the Copa Libertadores de América. But the Colombian striker, who has a contract with the club until the end of the season, wants much more. Santiago García, who underwent knee cleaning, and Cristian Benavente, who underwent knee surgery in January of this year, are improving in their respective cases and will join the group soon.
