Is his time up? Perruzzi out of the squad, future at San Lorenzo unclear | OneFootball

At San Lorenzo, the arrival of Gustavo Álvarez has shaken 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 straight time the youngster has not even made the matchday squad (he had already missed the Copa Sudamericana trip against Deportivo Cuenca), marking a clear loss of ground since the change in management. 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 for the match against Vélez.

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

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