Veron, Crespo return to Argentina squad
BUENOS AIRES, Aug 22 (Reuters) -- Former Chelsea team mates Juan Sebastian Veron and Hernan Crespo have
been recalled by Argentina for their World Cup qualifier against Peru in Lima on September 4.
Inter Milan's Veron and AC Milan striker Crespo, who missed the Copa America in Peru in July where Argentina
reached the final, were picked for last week's friendly international away to Japan but their clubs refused to release them.
Veron last played for Argentina in November in a 1-1 draw away to Colombia in Barranquilla after which he
underwent back surgery and missed most of the rest of the season.
Valencia midfielder Pablo Aimar was also named in the squad announced by the Argentine Football Association
after missing the Copa America and the Olympic Games through injury.
Coach Marcelo Bielsa is with the Argentine Olympic team at the Athens Games.
Bielsa's senior squad includes a number of players in the Olympic team, notably Carlos Tevez of Boca Juniors,
whose hat-trick helped Argentina beat Costa Rica 4-0 on Saturday to reach the semi-finals.
Pablo Cavallero of Celta Vigo is the only goalkeeper in the squad but Bielsa is expected to name at least one more,
possibly Leo Franco of Atletico Madrid, who played in the 2-1 win in Japan or the Olympic team's German Lux of
River Plate.
Argentina are second in the 10-nation South American World Cup qualifying group with 12 points, one less than
leaders Brazil after seven games. Peru are seventh on nine points.
Squad:
Goalkeeper: Pablo Cavallero (Celta Vigo, Spain)
Defenders: Facundo Quiroga (VfL Wolfsburg, Germany), Fabricio Coloccini (AC Milan, Italy), Roberto Ayala
(Valencia, Spain), Gabriel Heinze (Manchester United, England), Walter Samuel (Real Madrid, Spain)
Midfielders: Javier Zanetti, Juan Sebastian Veron (both Inter Milan, Italy), Javier Mascherano (River Plate), Juan
Pablo Sorin (Cruzeiro, Brazil), Diego Placente (Bayer Leverkusen, Germany), Pablo Aimar (Valencia), Andres
D'Alessandro (Wolfsburg), Lionel Scaloni (Deportivo Coruna, Spain)
Forwards: Carlos Tevez (Boca Juniors), Mauro Rosales (Newell's Old Boys), Cesar Delgado (Cruz Azul, Mexico),
Hernan Crespo (AC Milan), Cristian Gonzalez (Inter Milan), Mariano Gonzalez (Palermo, Italy).
