The news in the last few hours at Boca Juniors was that Fernando Gago has managed to recover his striker Edison Cavani to try and make a comeback in the Copa Libertadores. However, Alianza Lima will also have an extra reinforcement in the form of the legendary Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero.

Paolo Guerrero overcame his ankle injury

The Peruvian striker recovered from the ankle sprain that had kept him out of the first match against Boca Juniors, in which Alianza Lima won 1-0 in Peru: “I’m very happy with what the team did yesterday against Boca Juniors. My teammates were up to the task,” said Paolo Guerrero after the match.

Fully recovered, Alianza Lima will be able to count on Paolo Guerrero to visit Boca Juniors in their effort to maintain the advantage and advance to the next round of the Copa Libertadores. This is very important news for Néstor Gorosito in terms of leadership and experience. We’re talking about the all-time top scorer of the Peru national team.

Paolo Guerrero seeks revenge against Boca Juniors

In addition, Paolo Guerrero will return to action against Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores in full form after leading Alianza Lima’s recent victory against Juan Pablo II. In fact, he played the entire match and scored his first goal of the season in the 33rd minute with a shot from outside the box.

This will be the third time Paolo Guerrero faces Boca Juniors in his career. The previous two times were in 2013, also in the Copa Libertadores, when he was still a player for Corinthians. In both matches, he was unable to score, and moreover, Corinthians was eliminated. Therefore, he will surely arrive at La Bombonera eager for revenge.
