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

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

Both are expected to be absent from Benfica and FC Porto teams: Prestianni has been an option as a substitute in the main team of the Eagles, while Tomás Pérez has been playing for FC Porto's B team, despite having gone through an injury.

For Prestianni, this means missing a significant part of the initial preparation with the new coach, after José Mourinho was announced on Thursday as the person responsible for the Eagles' football, 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.
