Will Junior Alonso play against Bolivar?
Defender Junior Alonso, who was suspended in the match against Santos, traveled with the group. For the confrontation, Sampaoli will have no casualty compared to the game of the Brazilian Championship.
To face the celestial opponent at 3,600 meters altitude, Sampaoli can make changes to the team and choose to enter more rested athletes. However, nothing prevents even repeating the eleven that started the weekend’s confrontation at the MRV Arena.
This Tuesday, players train in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The Bolivian city is at sea level, which makes it easier to reduce the impacts of Bolivian altitude. Only on Wednesday, the day of the game, the Alvinegro group travels to La Paz, which is 3,600 meters above sea level.
