Peru national team faces United States in Orlando friendly

The Peru national football team is set to face the United States in an international friendly this Saturday, September 26, at the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The match is the first of a four-game tour intended to support the team's generational renewal and preparation for the 2030 World Cup qualifiers.

Peru head coach Mano Menezes confirmed that midfielder André Carrillo will miss the match against the United States due to a muscle injury. While Carrillo is expected to remain with the squad for the subsequent three matches of the tour, he will not participate in this opening fixture. Conversely, defender Oliver Sonne is confirmed to be available for selection.

Veteran goalkeeper Pedro Gallese has expressed his commitment to a leadership role within the squad, aiming to guide younger players during the upcoming qualifying processes.
