INJURY BLOW
Carlos Zambrano suffered a right knee ligament rupture during Peru's friendly against Chile (3-0 defeat). He was examined on Wednesday after returning to Frankfurt. So far the diagnosis leaves him out of action until the new year at least, further examinations will follow. It is another blow for manager Schaaf and the team to overcome; Kevin Trapp, Nelson Valdez, Constant Djakpa and Joel Gerezgiher are already out with long-term injuries.
Get well soon, Carlos!
