Como prospect Andrealli earns first Peru call-up

Francesco Andrealli is the surprise inclusion in Peru's 26-man squad for the upcoming friendly against Bolivia on November 14. The Como Primavera captain, born in Italy to a Peruvian mother, receives his first senior international call-up after impressing through the club's youth ranks.

The 19-year-old has yet to make his Serie A debut but has already attracted attention from Cesc Fabregas, earning several opportunities with the first-team squad. He previously represented Peru at Under-20 level and joined the senior team's training camp in Russia in 2025.

Coach Mano Menezes described Andrealli as a box-to-box midfielder, highlighting his qualities and the collaboration between the senior and youth setups.

The squad also welcomes back Andy Polo, Fabio Gruber, Luis Iberico and Maxloren Castro, while Andre Carrillo and Oliver Sonne are among the notable absentees.
