End of the road? Nacho Perruzzi out of favour, San Lorenzo future unclear | OneFootball

At San Lorenzo, the arrival of Gustavo Álvarez shook things up, and one of those feeling it the most is Ignacio Perruzzi. The 21-year-old midfielder, who had been a regular starter under Damián Ayude, was once again left out of the squad for this afternoon’s key clash against Vélez at the Nuevo Gasómetro, on matchday 15 of the Apertura.

It is the second consecutive time that the youngster has not even been called up (he had already missed the Copa Sudamericana trip against Deportivo Cuenca), signaling a clear loss of ground since the change in charge. Although Álvarez started him in his debut against Riestra, as the matches went by he saw fewer and fewer minutes until being left out of the final list.

Without Nacho Perruzzi, San Lorenzo’s squad called up to face Vélez.

With 36 appearances in the Ciclón’s first team, experience with Argentina’s youth national teams, and a contract that runs until December 2027, Nacho’s current situation is raising eyebrows in the Azulgrana world. His brother’s situation, Francisco Perruzzi, is similar, although with one difference: despite having had almost no playing time in recent months, he managed to make the squad list at the last minute for this afternoon’s home match against El Fortín.

In Boedo, much more than three points are at stake against Vélez in the fight to reach the playoffs, and Álvarez seems to be clear that, in his system, there is currently no room for a Nacho Perruzzi who has gone from being the “number five” of the future to not even making the bench.
