Vasco’s manager Gaúcho affirmed in a press conference yesterday that Peruvian left-back Yoshimar Yotún could make his debut this Sunday.
The defender arrived at São Januário this year, but his debut was delayed due to problems with the transfer documentation, which prevented him from being registered earlier for the Rio de Janeiro state league.
Manager Gaúcho plans to bring him from the bench during the game against Volta Redonda tomorrow, rather than having him playing from the start.
He said: “I want to make the most of both (Yotún and Sandro Silva) to help Vasco. Yotún joins the Peruvian national team next Monday, we have to work little by little. It’s not that he isn’t ready yet, but for this Sunday it’s better he comes during the game”.
Yoshimar Yotún played for Sporting Cristal last season, and was named by Uruguay’s newspaper El País the best left-back in South America in 2012.
He has been loaned to Vasco until the end of the 2012 season, with an option to buy allowing the Brazilian club to make the deal permanent.
