Peru soccer team resumes training ahead of Scotland friendly

15:56 | Lima, May. 17.

Peru's national soccer team on Thursday resumed training sessions focused on the upcoming friendly match against Scotland as preparation for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia.

Coached by Argentinean Ricardo Gareca, the squad arrived at Lima-based National Sports Village (Videna) to conduct physical and tactical exercises.

It must be noted players Sergio Peña and recently-recovered Alberto Rodriguez also took part in today's session.

The Peru-Scotland game is slated for May 29 at Lima's National Stadium at 8:00 PM (local time).

Last Wednesday, Peruvian Soccer Federation (FPF) announced its preliminary list of 24 players expected to participate in the World Cup.

Regretfully, captain and top striker Paolo Guerrero was not included in the draft as the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) increased a ban against him from 6 to 14 months.
