Bolivia will have no debutants in its lineup against Colombia

 In yesterday's training session, he kept the three-man back line, but included Carrasco alongside Haquín and Sagredo. Enoumba moved to play on the right.

Bolivia will not have debutants in the starting line-up to face Colombia tomorrow at the Metropolitano stadium in Barranquilla (19:30), for the penultimate date of the qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar.

Coach César Farías affirmed yesterday that "there are no debutants in the starting line-up", which will face the Colombians.

"Luis Haquín has 25 international matches, Moisés Villarroel has 18, these guys have experience and whoever comes in, must run, score and have personality to keep the ball", said the DT after training at the Hernando Siles stadium. Farias' affirmation confirmed the players he has been working with in the last few days for the match against the Colombian team.

Yesterday, La Verde held another training session at the Hernando Siles stadium with tactical content. Farías ordered work to put pressure on the opponent, "not to let them think", as he mentioned at some point during the session.

However, there were a couple of moments in the session in which the tactician clearly set out the system and the men he will use in Barranquilla. The line of three at the back is defined, but yesterday in one of the sessions he put Fran Supayabe, who plays for Guabirá, on the right wing, then that place was taken by Marc Enoumba, who will finally run on that side, since according to Farias' words there will be no debutants in the team.

Roberto Fernández is confirmed for the left wing, and the three at the back will be José María Carrasco, Luis Haquín and José Sagredo. In the midfield, Moisés Villarroel is a fixed piece together with Franz González.  Jeyson Chura, César Menacho and Henry Vaca worked in front of them. As seen in the sessions, goalkeeper Guillermo Viscarra will be in goal.

Menacho has not made his official debut in La Verde, so his place would be taken by Jaume Cuellar, from Lugo of Spain; also if Chura does not go, the one who has a guaranteed place is Ramiro Vaca, who plays in Belgian soccer. Another issue that has been defined is the captaincy. Without Martins, Arce and Bejarano, coach Farías confirmed that Villarroel will wear the headband.

In Barranquilla

The national delegation moved last night to the venue of this Thursday's match.

Bolivia plans to work this afternoon at the Metropolitano stadium at the same time as the match against the Colombians.

Jaume Cuellar and Ramiro Vaca will join today's session, having settled in earlier at the training camp.

While La Verde plays against Colombia, Marcelo Martins is expected to arrive from Asuncion, Paraguay, for next Tuesday's game against Brazil. The striker did not play last weekend for Cerro Porteño due to injury.

"He has a traumatism in his left foot, he received a blow in Wednesday's tactical training, it was in the heel and it affected his Achilles tendon", explained Cerro's DT, Francisco Arce, about the injury of the Bolivian attacker.

Martins has played four games in Cerro Porteño's jersey and has yet to score his first goal.
