Forced to make changes, Néstor Lorenzo left this Thursday, November 16, with a luxury roster to face Brazil on date 5 of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The only forced absence was that of Jhon Arias, who, although he is called up, is not He might have been part due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

It is worth remembering that following more than 10 games since the arrival of the strategist, he does not know defeat in his process with the Tricolor.

Dávinson Sánchez, Carlos Cuesta, Yerson Mosquera, Deiver Machado, Jorge Carrascal and Luis Díaz are those who play with tension.
Back to the usual
Fortunately, for date 5 of the tie for Néstor Lorenzo, his injuries did not change his plans much; On the contrary, they allowed him to put in players that he has already given them enough confidence to now come in to play one of the most important games in the process.

Of those that can be classified as surprises, is the continuity given to Kevin Castaño, who had barely added 87 minutes in the qualifying period. With the call of Jefferson Lerma, it was thought that he would take the place, but the one from Cruz Azul seems to have convinced Lorenzo to partner with Lerma.

In the attacking part, the question that drew the most attention was who was going to replace the suspended Jhon Arias. The coaching staff had Jorge Carrascal and Luis Sinisterra at their disposal, who can perform in a similar way; However, they opted for the former to be a creative partner of the coffee ’10’.
Lorenzo did not take them into account
As usually happens, the list of starting and substitute players has the regulation to leave out three players who must go to the stands. After announcing the official eleven, it was learned that those who were not going to be taken into account from the group of those called up were Yerry Mina and Willer Ditta, in addition to Jhon Arias, who is suspended.

Thus, it was surprising that as soon as they arrived, players like Juan Camilo Hernández or Jaminton Campaz were taken into account as emerging players for the attack. Both might be taken into account at any time, taking advantage of the great scoring moment they are experiencing in the MLS of the United States and the Professional League of Argentina.
