It won’t be long until the debut of the Peruvian team against Chile for the 2024 Copa América, Jorge Fossati begins to define his starting eleven that will seek the first victory in the United States. Compared to friendly matches, the Uruguayan strategist gives something to talk about with a unexpected lineup by fans.
In the last international friendlies against Paraguay and El Salvador, the Bicolor coach made several modifications to evaluate each of his team, so he has now determined this eleven that will compete against a renewed Chile under the direction of Ricardo Gareca.

In this way, we can see that Bryan Reyna is one of the main novelties in the starting eleven for the match against Chile. Although he did not have minutes in the friendlies against Paraguay and El Salvador, Fossati would bet on the Belgrano attacker for this crucial duel against ‘La Roja’.
Likewise, the line of three would be made up of Araujo, Zambrano and Alexander Callens. It is clear that the Uruguayan coach is looking for experience to avoid the arrivals of the southern attackers.
Marcos López earned the spot in the eyes of Jorge Fossati, who will now be at wingback to generate greater offensive volume in this ‘Pacific Classic’ for the Copa América.
Gianluca Lapadula remains in Peru’s eleven
The leading forward for the Peruvian team will be Gianluca Lapadula. The Cagliari attacker had an unfortunate episode with the missed penalty, but Fossati gives him the confidence to be the ‘9’ of the Bicolor that seeks the goals against Chile. Paolo Guerrero will be on the substitute bench waiting for the DT’s call.
Who replaces Renato Tapia?
After learning of the problems that Renato Tapia had in not traveling to the Copa América with the Peruvian team, Jorge Fossati had no problems and looked for a replacement to fill the position. Wilder Cartagena is targeted to take the place of the ‘Captain of the Future’ in the Conmebol competition.
