Corinthians midfielder returns for Peru after muscle injury | OneFootball

André Carrillo returned to action for the Peru national team this Saturday in a friendly against Canada. The Corinthians midfielder started the match on the bench and came on in the second half, but could not prevent Peru’s 2-0 defeat at BC Place in Vancouver.

The player came on at halftime, replacing Wilder Cartagena. Carrillo stayed on the field for the entire second half and, according to Sofascore data, recorded 21 touches, completed 12 of his 14 passes, delivered one cross, and contributed with two defensive actions.

His return came after a recovery period. Before Corinthians’ last match during the FIFA international break, Carrillo had been diagnosed with a muscle edema in his left thigh. Because of the issue, he did not take part in the 3-1 loss to Fluminense in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Even while injured, the Peruvian remained among Mano Menezes’ call-ups. The player continued treatment with the national team’s medical department and ended up missing the matches against the United States and Mexico. Against Canada, however, he was used again by the coach.

Since Mano Menezes took charge of the Peru national team, Carrillo has been included in every squad. Before the injury, he had played in the other four friendlies under the coach, starting in two of them. In one of those, against Haiti, the Corinthians player even wore the captain’s armband.

Peru still have one more match in this FIFA international window. The team will face Colombia next Monday, October 6, at 8:45 p.m. Brasília time, in Miami, United States.

Peru’s schedule could cause Carrillo to miss Corinthians again. The match against Colombia takes place less than 24 hours before Timão’s clash with Internacional, scheduled for the 7th in Porto Alegre in the Brasileirão. Because of the short gap between matches and the travel involved, the midfielder is unlikely to be available for Fernando Diniz.André Carrillo returned to action for the Peru national team this Saturday in a friendly against Canada.
