Alianza Lima has left behind what happened at Matute against ADT and now focuses fully on the game against Deportivo Garcilaso for matchday 19 of the Clausura Tournament. This match will be of importance for the blanquiazules, as they cling to hope of winning the title of the tournament.
However, the blanquiazules will not arrive in full for this difficult contest, as they have three confirmed absences, the first of which is Gino Peruzzi, the Argentine full-back who was suspended for accumulating yellow cards.
"Alianza Lima has up to three absences for the match against Deportivo Garcilaso. The first is Gino Peruzzi, who was suspended for yellow cards. Who will be his replacement? Rodríguez and Edinson Chávez are being considered," said journalist Fernanda Huapaya de ESPN.
But Peruzzi would not be the only absentee in the team's lineup, as it has also been confirmed that Franco Zanelatto and Carlos Zambrano will be absent due to both having muscle injuries.
"Franco Zanelatto is the second absence I was going to mention because he has a first-degree calf tear, and Carlos Zambrano has a thigh tear. Their recovery time is five to eight days, so they would not make it for the match next Sunday," explained the journalist.

Does Alianza Lima have a chance to win the Clausura Tournament?
Despite the draw against ADT, Alianza Lima still has minimal chances of winning the Clausura Tournament, as they have to win against Deportivo Garcilaso and hope that Universitario de Deportes, FBC Melgar, and Sporting Cristal do not win their respective matches.
