The Chilean team You have allowed too much time to pass without competitive activity. November 7, 2019 was the last call made by Reinaldo Rueda, that is, it has been almost a year since the team has not met.
On that occasion, twenty foreign players arrived for the friendly that was canceled against Peru. No one knew what was to come: there were no qualifiers in March or September, and the Copa América was also suspended.
But there is no deadline that is not met and the Chilean coach will communicate today the roster in charge of starting the playoffs, on October 8 and 13 against Uruguay and Colombia respectively. The names are kept quiet, but here comes the sneak peek.
The national strategist has five confirmed casualties. Claudio Bravo, Guillermo Maripán and Erick Pulgar due to physical difficulties, Igor Lichnovsky and Gonzalo Jara due to suspension. The rest is at your complete disposal, but there won’t be room for everyone.
To replace Captain America, Rueda has decided to call Gabriel Arias Y Fernando de Paul. The Racing goalkeeper started the last Copa América and, although he did not leave the best impression, he is the letter to replace Bravo.

The defense has consolidated and emerging, all led by the captain Gary Medel. In the list will also appear Mauritius Island, Sebastian Vegas, Brothers Nicolás and Paulo Díaz, Francisco Sierralta Y Eugenio Mena.
In midfield there are no doubts and those mentioned will be Arturo vidal, Charles Aránguiz, Lorenzo Reyes, Claudio Baeza, Diego Valdés and César Pinares.
Finally, the forward will be led by the historic scorer of the Chilean team, Alexis Sanchez, flanked by Jose Pedro Fuenzalida, Víctor Dávila, Edson Puch, Fabián Orellana, Niklas Castro and Jean Meneses.

The unknowns of La Roja
Historically, there are two overlapping payrolls. The first is for thirty players and refers exclusively to those who are reserved from foreign teams, but whose presence in the selection is determined later.
In this past, there are several who were looking for the carnage. Esteban Pavez, Ángelo Araos and Eduardo Vargas are not on the final list, although they may appear in an emergency at the last minute.
Another relevant case is that of Enzo Roco, who finally achieved the regularity that Reinaldo Rueda demanded of him in the Fatih Karagümrük, but was not included in the list of thirty reserved from abroad.
Among those who play in Chile, there are several pointed by Rueda, but who will not be on the list. Guillermo Soto, Valber Huerta and the injured Pablo Aránguiz are some who were under the magnifying glass of the Colombian, but who will only be required in an emergency.
