Overview
- André Carrillo confirmed on Thursday that he will not play against the United States on Saturday, Sept. 26, as a precaution for a posterior-thigh muscle issue.
- Peru's medical staff report posterior-left-thigh edema sustained at Corinthians and had Carrillo training separately and leaving practice early while they conduct ongoing evaluations.
- Oliver Sonne recovered from a right-knee concern, trained fully with the squad and has a strong chance to start at right back against the United States.
- The match is scheduled for Sept. 26 at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando and is the first of a four-game September–October tour that includes Mexico, Canada and Colombia.
- Coaches are managing minutes and lineups to avoid aggravating injuries to experienced players so Peru can keep options available for later fixtures on the tour.
