Universitario Sets Sekou Gassama’s Lima Arrival for Jan. 21 at 6 a.m.

Club sources say he trained under supervision during a personal delay to arrive fit.

Overview

  • Universitario has set this arrival as the near-term cutoff for his integration as the squad manages other absences and pending nationality approvals.
  • The delay is attributed solely to personal reasons, with reports explicitly ruling out Africa Cup of Nations involvement.
  • He followed a supervised program, working with professionals in Barcelona and Senegal, and is described as in good physical condition.
  • Assistant coach Javier Rabanal calls him a finisher who has adhered to an individualized training plan and will add attacking options.
  • Local coverage indicates plans for his presentation at Noche Crema 2026 at the Monumental, with a possible early debut once he joins full training.
