The Chilean team suffered a severe blow this afternoon, after the loss of Alexis Sanchez of the starting team that will face Peru tonight, for the third date of the South American qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The tocopillano came with problems in the adductors, which worsened in the last hours and will prevent him from forming from the beginning in the team of Reinaldo Rueda, who will have to make an important modification on his scoreboard.
In the morning, the La Roja coach opted for Erick Pulgar, Arturo Vidal and César Pinares in the core area, and the presence of Fabián Orellana and Alexis as midfielders behind Felipe Mora.
However, the loss of the Wonder Child will allow the entry of Jean Meneses in the offensive zone. The León de México striker is the best Chilean in the Aztec league and played two games for the national team, both in 2019 against Honduras and Guinea (one goal).
Takeshi, as they say to the quillotano, will do the same function of the attacker of Inter Milan, but the idea is not that the player overflows Luis Advíncula on the left, but rather that he throws diagonals and allows the passage of Jean Beausejour to his back.
With this panorama, the Chilean team announces Claudio Bravo in goal; Mauricio Isla, Paulo Díaz, Sebastián Vegas and Jean Beausejour in the rear; Pulgar, Pinares and Vidal in the medullary; Orellana, Mora and Meneses.

Who will be the captain of La Roja?
The other unknown that will be solved when the teams take to the field is in the captaincy of the team, since the Chilean team will not be able to count on the two players who have recently carried the jineta, Alexis and Gary Medel.
In this sense, all the darts point to Arturo Vidal. The King led the team in last year’s friendly against Guinea, when Claudio Bravo was on the court and both the Wonder Boy and the Pitbull were sidelined due to injury.

Does Claudio Bravo have options? The former captain of La Roja would be a real surprise in this role, since he has not held the captaincy in the games he has played during the Reinaldo Rueda cycle and after the break of the national team in 2017.
In fact, Captain America was not captain either in the absence of Medel, Sánchez and Vidal, as was the case in the friendly against Honduras last year in San Pedro Sula.
On September 10, 2019, Charles Aránguiz refused to wear the genet and the responsibility fell on Paulo Díaz.
