FC Porto has reviewed the decision to allow Tomás Pérez to join the Argentina under-20 team. The 20-year-old midfielder had been given permission to participate in the FIFA competition, which will take place in Chile between September 27 and October 19, but he was ordered to return to the club.
The change of plans is related to the lack of options in the main squad, exacerbated by the injury of Nehuén Pérez. With only three natural center backs available, Farioli is evaluating alternatives and does not rule out the possibility of moving Pablo Rosario 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 command of Diego Placente - will no longer be part of the Argentina team's training camp.
