The presence of Jefferson Farfán in an Alianza Lima match is highly desired by the fans and, precisely, his return to the fields might be close. The experienced 37-year-old forward is recovering from the injury that affects his cartilage and, if he complies with the medical recommendation, he might be in the match once morest Universitario.
This Friday, during his attendance at the inauguration of the first Fustal Down Classic in La Videna, the attacker replied, cautiously, regarding his current state and the possibility that he will be in the expected duel once morest the ‘Cremas’ for League 1 .
“Do you play the Clásico or not?”was the query that “Foquita” received, in an interview for Best Cable, and responded with a nervous smile: “I don’t know, that’s already a surprise”. For now, the Alianza Lima fans will have to continue waiting for news regarding the return to activity of “Jefry”, who played for the last time in the final once morest Sporting Cristal, on November 28 (29 minutes on the court).
Let us remember that in the 2021 season, in the year of his return to La Victoria, Jefferson Farfán had regular participation with the team, although he was also affected by injuries: he played 14 games (two as starters) and scored four goals on the way to title. In the same way, in that period, the striker made five appearances with the Peruvian national team, always coming off the bench.
