Junior from Barranquilla faces this Wednesday, December 9, the Coquimbo Unido of Chile in the South American Cup. A difficult game to face for the team and for its coach, Luis Amaranto Perea, as the squad suffers a crisis due to absences.

According to the inventory, of the 29 players registered for the competition, Junior has 9 absent due to covid-19; in addition, there is one injured and two penalized. To make matters worse, of the players that appear on the list against Conmebol, two players no longer train with the team: Cristian Higuita and David Murgas.

Journalist Rafael Castillo did the math with so many absences and came to the sad conclusion that there are only 15 players available for the first leg of the quarterfinals, which starts this Wednesday at 7:30 pm at the Metropolitano stadium.

On Twitter, a fan asked Junior to register Giovanni Hernández and Carlos Valderrama, previously so many casualties there are for the Copa Sudamericana match. And of course, the ‘Pibe’, very active in social networks, reacted to the comment with the humor and good energy that characterizes him.

“I’m ready for today,” replied the ‘Pibe’, who added: “let me know”, because he will always be at the service of the team of his loves.
