Overview

• Journalists report Manuel Barreto plans to omit several long‑time Peru internationals in his first squad, with names cited including Luis Advíncula, Carlos Zambrano, Renato Tapia, Yoshimar Yotún, Miguel Trauco, Aldo Corzo, Edison Flores, Sergio Peña and Christian Cueva.
• The first friendly under Barreto is reported for Friday, October 10, against Chile at the Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida in Concepción at 8:00 p.m. local time (6:00 p.m. Peru).
• Early inclusion chatter highlights domestic and Europe‑based options such as Jairo Concha, Pedro Díaz, Andy Polo, Álex Valera, Fabio Gruber and Alexander Robertson, with media saying reserve letters were sent for Gruber and Robertson.
• Jean Ferrari’s trip to Argentina to meet coaching candidates was described by reporters as yielding no clear frontrunner, and he may travel to Brazil next as the search for a permanent manager continues.
• Renato Tapia’s availability is in doubt due to reports the FPF did not send a reserve letter to Al‑Wasl, while his father publicly denied any personal conflict between the player and Ferrari.
