Podemos confirmarlo, que tiene una lesión también Julián Quiñones y está en serio riesgo que pueda venir a la fecha FIFA.

Y César, el Cachorro Montes, no estuvo convocado con su equipo, el Lokomotiv.

The player in question signed for Chelsea from Le Havre, also played for Angie, Lokomotiv...

the locomotive Moscow, Marseille and Charleroi.

And he was once signed by Real Madrid from Portsmouth for 20 million pounds.
