FC Porto reviewed the decision to authorize the release of Tomás Pérez to the Argentina under-20 team. The 20-year-old midfielder had received permission to participate in the FIFA competition, which will take place in Chile between September 27 and October 19, but ended up receiving orders to return to the club.
The change of plans is related to the shortage of options in the main squad, worsened by the injury of Nehuén Pérez. With only three natural central defenders available, Farioli is evaluating alternatives and does not rule out the possibility of moving Pablo Rosario back to the defensive axis, if necessary. In this scenario, Tomás Pérez – who was supposed to report this Monday at the Lionel Andrés Messi Training Center in Ezeiza, under the orders of Diego Placente – will no longer join the Argentine team's training camp.
