Alex Valera Suspended for Universitario’s Game Against Cienciano in South American Cup

Universitario de Deportes’ fans have been eagerly waiting for the team’s debut in the South American Cup, but they will have to do without Alex Valera in the game against Cienciano on March 9. Valera received a red card in the game against Barcelona of Ecuador during the 2022 Libertadores Cup, which resulted in his team’s elimination from the international tournament. He lost his temper and fought with Dario Aimar, leaving his team with ten players in the 1-0 defeat.

Valera’s suspension will be effective only for the single confrontation against Cienciano. The striker will experience the game from the stands and hopes to return to the field in the next instance of the championship. The coach will have to find the best replacement for Valera, and he will likely choose between Emanuel Herrera and Alexandre Succar.

Unfortunately, Valera has not been in his best form lately. He missed several goals in the team’s loss against Union in Tarapoto and could not prevent the defeat against Alianza Lima in the classic. Nevertheless, he remains focused on working hard to regain his form and help his team win.
