Amid a lot of casualties due to calls for Selección Colombia and extensive injuries, Milionaris is visiting a needy Esportiu Pereira this Saturday at Hernán Ramírez Villegas.
The duel will be played from 06:05 pm and will feature the implementation of the VAR.
As mentioned above, the ambassador set will have several casualties. Felipe Román and Andreu Llinàs, both defenders, were not named for their call-up for the September qualifiers.
On the other hand, Omar Bertel, Christian Vargas and Diego Abadia continue in their recovery process. Also, Emerson Rivaldo Rodríguez is already training with the group, but he still needs to get ready for football; and Juan Camilo García was not taken into account.
The novelties in the call leave mainly from the defensive saga: they emphasize the returns of Elvis Perlaza (it fulfilled date of sanction) and Breiner Pau. As for the attack, the youthful Yuber Quiñones again entered the list.
With the above on the table and as mentioned by Alberto Gamero in a press conference, the defense will have a total renewal. Joan Pau Vargas would be the only regular, considering that Felip Banguero recently returned the previous date, Breiner Pau did not play only in the preseason and Andrés Murillo is usually a substitute.
