The casualties of Chicho Orellana, Machito Menjívar, Josué Rivera and Rafael Tejada were confirmed, while Noel Rivera also did not enter the plans, and Cacho Larín does not travel through migratory issues
The Salvadoran Football Federation (FESFUT) has already published the official payroll of the team that will face Guatemala in the United States, in a friendly match to be held this Saturday 31 of the month at 6:00 pm (national time).
From the list they fell due to injury Narciso “Chicho” Orellana (mixed steering wheel, alliance), Rafael Tejada (FAS striker), Josué Rivera (Metapán) and Leonardo “Machito” Menjívar (alliance offensive flyer), while Noel Rivera, who caught the attention of coach Hernán Darío “Bolillo” Gómez, finally did not enter the call. It was not publicly explained whether the fact that was added last to the group will have influenced or if the decision also passed by a topic of visa procedures (for the United States) and the time it can take it.
Likewise, it did not finally enter the call for a migratory issue, but it would be available to the match against Anguila, and the same is expected of the Tejada case; While with Orellana, probabilities are lower when suffering problems in a knee.
It should be remembered that this meeting is fundamental in the work for the tie, since on June 7 the select will face Anguila, and on the 10 of the same month he defines if he continues in the career of the classification towards the World Cup in North America 2026 when he receives Surinam, leader of the F.
That is, the basis of the select will be mostly from this call, since there is no more time to do more evidence.
Days ago he was out of the game against Guatemala Styven Vásquez, Firpo striker, and one of the most prominent players of the last two tournaments, but did not attend the call of the blue and white.
In the last hours he apologized and “Bolillo” Gómez also mentioned that the player had to be sink, who preferred to play amateur football matches.
For now, it is not clear if it would also be out of possible calls for the tie and Gold Cup.
