Callens is going to start with Brazil

THE AEK has not yet welcomed him to Athens Alexander Cullens, however her latest addition appears to be in good shape. The 31-year-old defender overcame some discomfort that kept him out of Friday’s World Cup qualifier with Paraguay (0-0).

According to reports in Peru, Cullens trained as normal yesterday and is even reported to be favorite to be in the lineup of his national team in the difficult encounter with Brazil in the early hours of Wednesday (05:00) in Lima.

The “Seleção” began with an impressive 5-1 victory over Venezuela in the attempt to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. There they will try to find themselves for the first time after 2018 and Peru, which has taken part in a total of only four World Cups in its history . The Cullens with few exceptions are a key figure in Peru for the past two years having made 25 of his 38 appearances with the national flag since June 2021.

The Peruvian international, with a Spanish passport, is expected to return to Athens next week Thursdaybut it will definitely take time to get into his plans Matias Almeida although he has been preparing normally with Girona until he was loaned to AEK.

For now, the Argentine coach expects at the beginning of the week and after the weekend off to see the Levi Garcia, Rodolfo Pizarro and Mijat Gacinovic to enter the regular program to be available to him in view of Olympiakos.
