It turns out that, according to journalist Carlos Benavente, the national striker has shown great sadness over this decision, but has indicated that he wants to accompany his teammates in these decisive matches for the tricampeonato.
"Alianza's technical command has already made the decision not to consider Cueva for the 2 finals. The reasons? Purely medical, so the coach prefers not to aggravate the injury any further or expose him. The player took the decision with sadness, but wants to be with his teammates until the end", the communicator said on his Twitter account.
