The Peruvian Soccer Federation (FPF) on Wednesday announced Peru's preliminary 24-man squad for next month's FIFA World Cup in Russia.
It must be noted neither
Claudio Pizarro nor Cristian Benavente
have been included in Gareca's Peru plans.
According to Peruvian soccer team manager Antonio Garcia Pye,
coach Ricardo Gareca submitted the preliminary roster to FIFA last Saturday.
On the other hand, the final 23-man squad list —required by FIFA— shall be finalized on June 4 at the latest.
The Incas earned a place at the sporting mega-event after defeating New Zealand in the qualifying playoffs.
