Overview
- The Peruvian federation sent a reserve letter to Nürnberg to hold Fabio Gruber for the November FIFA window, which includes scheduled friendlies against Russia and Chile in Russia on November 12 and 18.
- Journalists, including Gustavo Peralta, report Gruber is expected to be named to the roster, but the FPF has not issued the official list and final paperwork remains pending.
- The approach aligns with Manuel Barreto’s youth-focused refresh as Peru evaluates new options for the senior team.
- Gruber has earned a starting role at 2. Bundesliga side Nürnberg under coach Miroslav Klose and carries a €1.5 million valuation on Transfermarkt.
- Reporter Kevin Pacheco says reserve notices also went to Gianluca Lapadula, Yordy Reyna, Adrián Ugarriza and Juan Yangali, with the reminder that reserve letters do not guarantee call-ups.
