The news has been circulating for some time, although the technician, Martín Lasarte, He preferred to wait as long as possible to rule out any possibility: Sánchez’s muscle injury, which left him out of his debut at Calcio with Inter Milan, will also prevent him from playing for the points wearing the ‘la Roja’ shirt.
The Chilean striker will, meanwhile, have the experienced Eduardo Vargas, goal scorer of the plant during the last Copa America and proven gunner playing for his team.
He will be joined by the Chilean-British Benjamin Brereton, who made his debut precisely in the continental tournament where he achieved great notoriety after becoming the match against Bolivia and assisting Vargas in the duel against Uruguay. One of the surprises in the attack devised by Machete is the addition of Robbie Robinson, an American of Chilean descent who plays for Inter Miami FC in the north, a team where he has become one of the revelations for its effectiveness in the face of the goal.

From the local environment, Lasarte decided to call the Colo-Colo striker Iván Morales, who has shown great performance in the team that to date occupies the top of the table in the national tournament. The payroll, as in past commitments including the Copa America, has its backbone made up of benchmarks from the Golden Generation, the group of players that gave Chile two continental titles in a row in 2015 and 2016.
At the bottom is the goalkeeper and captain, Claudio Bravo, who will be seconded by Racing goalkeeper Gabriel Arias and Huachipato goalkeeper Gabriel Castelló. The return of Paulo Díaz stands out in the defensive zone, one of the central players with the most projection who currently plays for River Plate, but who had to be sidelined from the Copa America due to cardiac sequelae due to his condition with covid-19.
