Prestianni and Tomás Pérez called up for the Under-20 World Cup | OneFootball

Gianluca Prestianni, Benfica winger, and Tomás Pérez, FC Porto midfielder, have been called up by Argentine coach Diego Placente for the U-20 World Cup, which will take place from September 27 to October 19.

Both are therefore expected to be absent from the Benfica and FC Porto squads: Prestianni has been used as a substitute in the main team of the Eagles, while Tomás Pérez has been playing for FC Porto’s B team, despite having suffered an injury.

For Prestianni, this means missing a large part of the start of preparations with the new coach, after José Mourinho was announced on Thursday as the new head of football for the Eagles, replacing Bruno Lage, who was dismissed.

The U-20 World Cup will be held in Chile for almost a month, with Argentina—the record holder of the tournament with six titles—placed in Group D, along with Italy, Australia, and Cuba.
