Palmeiras and Santos lose players to Paraguay call-ups ahead of the derby | OneFootball

This Friday, coach Gustavo Alfaro announced the 28 players called up for Paraguay's friendlies against the United States and Mexico, scheduled for the FIFA date in November. The list includes athletes from Palmeiras, Santos, and São Paulo.

From Palmeiras, defender Gustavo Gómez and forward Ramón Sosa were called up. From Santos, defender Alexis Duarte was selected. Finally, midfielder Bobadilla from São Paulo will also be with the delegation for the friendlies.

Two other athletes playing in Brazilian football were also called up by Paraguay. They are Junior Alonso from Atlético-MG and Alan Benítez from Internacional. Romero, who lacks opportunities at Corinthians, was left out.

Paraguay will play two friendlies. The first will be against the United States on November 15 (Saturday) at 7 PM (Brasília time). Then, the team will face Mexico on November 18 (Tuesday) at 10:30 PM. Both games will be away.

Due to the call-ups, Palmeiras and Santos will lose their respective players for the derby. The postponed match of the 13th round of the Brasileirão was scheduled for November 15, during the FIFA date – when the Paraguayan call-ups will be on the field for the national team.

It is worth noting that Verdão will already be without Vitor Roque, who was called up to defend the Brazilian National Team in friendlies against Senegal and Tunisia. Flaco López, on the other hand, has an uncertain presence, as the Argentine national team plays only against Angola on November 14, on the eve of the derby.
