Ricardo Gareca adds a new headache ahead of the next double Elimination date, which will be played in October.
Ricardo Gareca and the Chilean National Team suffered a new blow facing the next double date of Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, where Chile must face Brazil (local) y a Colombia (Visitor).
The banner of La Roja, Alexis Sanchezas in previous matches, will be absent from the Chilean National Team and will not be able to play the matches of the October 10 and 15. The above, because he continues with his recovery process in Italy, which has been advancing slowly, according to La Tercera.
Since Udinese announced the Chilean as a reinforcement, the forward has not yet been able to make his re-debut on the Italian courts this season, as a result of a injury he suffered in the first training sessions with his new club.
The wait has been long, in fact, next Monday It’s been three months since the last game he playedwhose match ended 0-0 against Canada and marked the elimination of the All-Team from the Copa América.
Under this context, and if everything progresses well, Alexis Sánchez could return to the courts at the end of October. Considering this, the Chilean coaching staff, led by Ricardo Gareca, hopes to have the Tocopillano return for the November double datewhere La Roja will face Peru (11/14) and Venezuela (11/19).
The complex panorama of Ricardo Gareca facing Chile’s next matches in the Qualifiers
Taking the above into account, Ricardo Gareca must begin to move the board to prepare for the next duels, since Chile finds itself difficult in the standings. If La Roja does not score points in October, the hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup will become even further away.
Added to this is the significant loss of the defender Matías Catalánwho tore the cruciate ligaments in his right knee during the match between Talleres and Racing, which is why he will be out of the field for several months.
