22 Peruvians Train For Eagles

Ahead of the titanic clash with the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Wednesday in Lima, the National Team of Peru are preparing for the tie at their training camp in Videna.

Experienced Peruvian journalist Víctor Zaferson Mendoza has provided an update to allnigeriasoccer.com on the happenings in the camp of  La Blanquirroja.

''Peru coach Sergio Markarian worked with 22 players on Sunday evening. Included at training were Paolo Guerrero, Jefferson Farfán and Renzo Revoredo, who play outside Peru. Claudio Pizarro, Bremen's forward, is expected to arrive Lima on Monday, and will train on the same day. The  line-up for Peru has not been released to the Media. Coach Markarian will disclose the starting line up against Nigeria on Tuesday,'' says Víctor Zaferson Mendoza to allnigeriasoccer.com.

The last time Peru played an African opposition was last June in Lima. La Blanquirroja defeated Senegal by 1-0. The West Africans had announced a senior squad for the friendly. But when the team was scrutinized, the squad comprised members of Senegal's under-aged sides plus four senior players.
